Animals are such agreeable friends—they ask no questions; they pass no criticisms.

Animals are my friends... and I don't eat my friends.
I care not for a man's religion whose dog and cat are not the better for it.

The love for all living creatures is the most noble attribute of man.

Until one has loved an animal, a part of one's soul remains unawakened.
The soul is the same in all living creatures, although the body of each is different.
