Animals Quotes

One cannot use with impunity the different categories of beings-animals, plants, the natural elements-simply as one wishes, according to economic needs. One must take into account the nature of each being and its mutual connection in an ordered system, which is the cosmos.

Pope John Paul II
23

I talk to my inner lover, and I say, why such rush? We sense that there is some sort of spirit that loves birds and animals and the ants- perhaps the same one who gave a radiance to you in your mother's womb. Is it logical you would be walking around entirely orphaned now? The truth is you turned away yourself, and decided to go into the dark alone. Now you are tangled up in others, and have forgotten what you once knew, and that's why everything you do has some weird sense of failure in it.

Kabir
23

It is said about Lord Buddha sadaya-hrdaya darsita-pasu-ghatam. He saw the whole human race going to hell by this animal killing. So he appeared to teach ahimsa, nonviolence, being compassionate on the animals and human beings. In the Christian religion also, it is clearly stated, 'Thou shall not kill'. So everywhere animal killing is restricted. In no religion is the unnecessary killing of animals allowed. But nobody is caring. The killing process is increasing, and so are the reactions. Every ten years you will find a war. These are the reactions.

A. C. Bhaktivedanta
23

You take this meat eating. Many people have to kill the animals because of your non-vegetarianism. You are responsible for the death of those animals. They are killed because you eat them. This is a sin. What a sin to kill innocent animals and eat them.

Sathya Sai Baba
22

Animals are enchanted by music; if man is not attracted by the sound of OM, then he is an ass.

Lahiri Mahasaya
21

The animals certainly like to be close to humans, especially as humans go through the shift in consciousness.

Eckhart Tolle
21

God requires that we assist the animals, when they need our help. Each being (human or creature) has the same right of protection.

Francis of Assisi
20

Words are animals, alive with a will of their own

Carl Jung
20

God made cows and animals with their spines parallel to the ground. They have no rationality. Your spine is vertical, which enables you to evolve and grow faster.

Paramahamsa Hariharananda
19

We rarely think and act consciously. Animals have no choice and simply live by instinct. On the contrary, human beings should be conscious of whatever they are doing, because they do have a choice, discrimination, intelligence, and rationality. How to carry out all activities in consciousness? Spiritual life is a conscious lifestyle and it begins with conscious breathing. If you watch your breath and you are conscious of each inhalation and exhalation, you will be conscious of each thought and activity. Breath is constantly going in and out in the background of all your activities. If you are conscious of your breath, and if you constantly watch your breath, you will succeed in being conscious of all your thoughts and all your activities.

Paramahamsa Prajnanananda
18

Nature, as we say, does nothing without some purpose; and for the purpose of making man a political animal she has endowed him alone among the animals with the power of reasoned speech.

Aristotle
18

Souls love. That’s what souls do. Egos don’t, but souls do. Become a soul, look around, and you’ll be amazed-all the beings around you are souls. Be one, see one. When many people have this heart connection, then we will know that we are all one, we human beings all over the planet. We will be one. One love. And don’t leave out the animals, and trees, and clouds, and galaxies-it’s all one. It’s one energy.

Ram Dass
18

Holy obedience confounds all bodily and fleshly desires and keeps the body mortified to the obedience of the spirit and to the obedience of one's brother and makes a man subject to all the men of this world and not to men alone, but also to all beasts and wild animals, so that they may do with him whatsoever they will, in so far as it may be granted to them from above by the Lord.

Francis of Assisi
17

Remember from this very moment: always choose that which is good for you and good for others. Choose creativity. Become a blessing to existence, because that is the only way that we can persuade God to become a blessing to us. That's the only true prayer: becoming a blessing to everyone - to people, to animals, to trees, to life in all its forms. If one remains consciously alert, slowly slowly the art is learned; slowly slowly it becomes just natural.

Osho (Rajneesh)
17

All things of creation are children of the Father and thus brothers of man. ... God wants us to help animals, if they need help. Every creature in distress has the same right to be protected.

Francis of Assisi
16

As often as Herman had witnessed the slaughter of animals and fish, he always had the same thought: in their behaviour toward creatures, all men were Nazis. The smugness with which man could do with other species as he pleased exemplified the most extreme racist theories, the principle that might is right.

Sri Aurobindo
16

The consciousness of the animal begins to change when it interacts with a human who's gone beyond thinking. It's not only the animals assisting us; we are also assisting the animals.

Eckhart Tolle
15

Practice love on animals first; they react better and more sensitively.

George Gurdjieff
15

As animals, we walk the earth. As bearers of divine essence, we are among the stars. As human beings, we are caught in the middle, seeking to reconcile the paradox of how to make our way upon earth while striving for something more permanent and more profound.

B.K.S. Iyengar
15

Humans are the only animals that try to dwell in the future. You don't have to purely live in the present situation without a plan, but the future plans you make can only be based on the aspects of the future that manifest within the present situation.

Chogyam Trungpa
15

Mankind have love, animals have affection. The harmonious and beautiful world is revealed.

Buddha
14

Violence in any form is evil and to kill innocent animals is tantamount to blatant savagery.

Sathya Sai Baba
13

When humanity serves Nature, Nature serves humanity. When we serve animals and plants, they too serve us in return.

Mata Amritanandamayi
