“All animals understand love and affection, but only man shows the propensity to place himself into the shoes of another life form”

“The parent who sedulously endeavors to form the heart and enlarge the understanding of his child has given that dignity to the discharge of a duty, common to the whole animal world, that only reason can give. This is the parental affection of humanity, and leaves instinctive natural affection far behind.”

“I don't think God wants to be worshiped. I think the only pure worship of God is by loving one another, and I think all other forms of worship became a substitute for the love that we should show one another.”

“Man is the only animal that loves his neighbor as himself and cuts his throat if his theology isn't straight”

“No man is hindered by another; he is only hindered by himself. No man suffers because of another; he suffers only because of himself.”

“Animals can be driven crazy by placing too many in too small a pen. Homo sapiens is the only animal that voluntarily does this to himself.”
