If you pick up a starving dog and make him prosperous he will not bite you. This is the principal difference between a dog and man.
True benevolence or compassion, extends itself through the whole of existence and sympathizes with the distress of every creature capable of sensation.
We actors are superstitious creatures. We do all the homework and we put all of the components together, but there's always one key aspect that we're not in charge of, really, and that's magic. You are always on the lookout for where and how that magic is going to ignite. When you have worked as much as I have and have sought it out as often as I do, you get very clear that it will come at very, very odd, unexpected moments.
The worst sin toward our fellow creatures is not to hate them, but to be indifferent to them: that's the essence of inhumanity.
We are rational creatures: Our virtue and perfection is to love reason, or rather to love order.
The happiness which God designs for his higher creatures is the happiness of being freely, voluntarily united to him.
Let us be protectors of all of Gods Creatures
I believe in the immortality of all creatures.
No one perfectly loves God who does not perfectly love some of his creatures.
The animals of the world exist for their own reasons. They were not made for humans any more than black people were made for white, or women created for men.
When we drop fear, we can draw nearer to people, we can draw nearer to the earth, we can draw nearer to all the heavenly creatures that surround us.
Man is distinguished from all other creatures by the faculty of laughter.
All creatures are flawed, but out of the flaw may come the universe.
There is no religion without love, and people may talk as much as they like about their religion, but if it does not teach them to be good and kind to man and beast, it is all a sham.
We're very physical creatures, and we worry about how we look sometimes more than our spiritual selves
Of all the creatures in the world that really frighten me - the hyena in Africa, the great white shark - leopard seals are near the top of the list. They're killers. If my team spots one, they'll pull me out of the water.
The most effective way to silence our guilty conscience is to convince ourselves and others that those we have sinned against are indeed depraved creatures, deserving every punishment, even extermination. We cannot pity those we have wronged, nor can we be indifferent toward them. We must hate and persecute them or else leave the door open to self-contempt.
The greatness of a nation can be judged by the way its animals are treated.
Choose to make up for what you lack in innate ability with discipline, hard work, and good habits. Become a creature of champion habits.
The love of power comes from a lack of the most important power, that of living a life of eternity with every creature.
When I was in my teens I had a series of intensely religious experiences. They deepened my sense of God as the creator of all things. And they also deepened my sensitivity towards creation itself so that concern for God's creatures and animal rights followed from that. Some people think I'm an animal rights person who just happens, almost incidentally, to be religious. In fact, it's because I believe in God that I'm concerned about God's creatures. The religious impulse is primary.
It took Christians many years to realize that we cannot love God and also keep humans as slaves. It has taken even longer for Christians to realize that we cannot love God and also regard women as second-class humans.

What worries some people about consumption (and I confess at the outset to be one of these ambivalent creatures, fat but troubled in paradise) is that the affluent, technologically advanced West seems more and more focused not on consuming to live but living to consume. The problem with consumption, and the consumer capitalism that has pushed it to feverish historical extremes, is that it has become so all-consuming.
I love all the Hollywood women. I saw all the films when I was a teenager. Jack Smith's "Flaming Creatures".
I'm a diehard animal lover - I've always loved animals - but it was just one of those trips that I felt like I was going back to the beginning of where earth started. At the time, where a lot of stuff was brewing anyway, to be in such a beautiful and barren land, and just looking at how life began with all these creatures, I just started to really think about animals and time and just all of it.
