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.
Animals are born who they are, accept it, and that is that. They live with greater peace than people do.
The world would be a nicer place if everyone had the ability to love as unconditionally as a dog.
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.
The greatness of a nation and its moral progress can be judged by the way its animals are treated.
