“Little value comes out of the belief that people will respond progressively better by treating them progressively worse.”

“The best and most clear indicator that we are progressing spiritually and coming unto Christ is the way we treat other people.”

“The greatness of a nation and its moral progress can be judged by the way its animals are treated.”
