Some of my favorite quotes

"In the beginning, God created man, but seeing him so feeble, He gave him the cat" ~ Warren Eckstein

"All of the animals except for man know that the principle business of life is to enjoy it." ~ Samuel Butler

"If a dog jumps in your lap, it is because he is fond of you; but if a cat does the same thing, it is because you lap is warmer." ~ Alfred North Whitehead

Love of animals is a universal impulse, a common ground on which all of us may meet. By loving and
understanding animals, perhaps we humans shall come to understand each other.
— Dr. Louis J. Camuti


There are two means of refuge from the misery of life - music and cats.
— Albert Schweitzer



An Indian legend says: "When a human dies there is a bridge they must cross to enter into Heaven. At the head of the bridge waits every animal that human encountered during their lifetime. The animals, based on what they know of this person, decide which humans may cross the bridge...and which are turned away."


When a man wants to murder a tiger he calls it sport; when the tiger wants to murder him he calls it ferocity. ~George Bernard Shaw


“A righteous man cares for the needs of his animal.”—Proverbs 12:10

"To close your eyes will not ease another's pain." - Chinese Proverb


If we cut up beasts simply because they cannot prevent us and because we are backing our own side in the struggle for existence, it is only logical to cut up imbeciles, criminals, enemies, or capitalists for the same reasons. ~C.S. Lewis



Killing an animal to make a coat is sin. It wasn't meant to be, and we have no right to do it. A woman gains status when she refuses to see anything killed to be put on her back. Then she's truly beautiful.
-- Doris Day


"If a man aspires towards a righteous life, his first act of abstinence is from injury to animals."
-- Albert Einstein
