The feeling of
compassion for other living beings reminds me of the feeling of pain in our
body. Just as you can become less sensitive to pain in your body with time, you
can become less compassionate to others.
The first condition to bringing religion into your life is
manifesting love and pity toward all living creatures.
— Chinese Wisdom
Compassion for animals is closely connected with character
type. You can say with confidence that he who is cruel to animals cannot be a
kind man.
— Arthur Schopenhauer
Every murder is terrible. But most terrible is the murder
in which you want to eat the creature you have killed, when you kill for the
satisfaction of your stomach.
— Mikhail Goldstein
When the suffering of
another creature causes you to feel pain, do not submit to the initial desire
to flee from the suffering one, but on the contrary, come closer, as close as
you can to him who suffers, and try to help him.
