Âme Posted March 1, 2009 Share Posted March 1, 2009 The human spirit is not dead...It is convinced that compassion, in which all ethics must take root, can only attain its full breadth and depth if it embraces all living creatures and does not limit itself to mankind. ~ Albert Schweitzer. Nobel Peace Prize address, 1954, "The Problem of Peace," translated from French. "Until he extends the circle of his compassion to all living things, man will not, himself, find peace."~ Albert Schweitzer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dog Posted March 7, 2009 Author Share Posted March 7, 2009 A Prayer For AnimalsHear our humble prayer, O God, for our friends the animals,especially for animals who are suffering;for animals that are overworked, underfed and cruelly treated;for all wistful creatures in captivity that beat their wings against bars;for any that are hunted or lost or deserted or frightened or hungry;for all that must be put death.We entreat for them all Thy mercy and pity,and for those who deal with them we ask a heart of compassion and gentle hands and kindly words.Make us, ourselves, to be true friends to animals, and so to share the blessings of the merciful.Albert Schweitzer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

just john Posted March 10, 2009 Share Posted March 10, 2009 "The majority is never right. Never, I tell you! That's one of these lies in society that no free and intelligent man can help rebelling against. Who are the people that make up the biggest proportion of the population -- the intelligent ones or the fools? I think we can agree it's the fools, no matter where you go in this world, it's the fools that form the overwhelming majority."[:-))]Henrik Ibsen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
