It is easy to tell the toiler
How best he can carry his pack
But no one can rate a burden's weight
Until it has been on his back

Many times I am asked why the suffering of animals should call forth more sympathy from me than the suffering of human beings; why I work in this direction of charitable work more than toward any other. My answer is that because I believe that this work includes all the education and lines of reform which are needed to make a perfect circle of peace and goodwill about the Earth.

The life that neither grief nor burden knowsIs dwarfed in sympathy before its close.The life that grows majestic with the yearsMust taste the bitter tonic found in tears.

Love lights more fires than hate extinguishes, and men grow better as the world grows old.

Be not impatient in delay,But wait as one who understands;When spirit rises and commands,The gods are ready to obey.

To sin by silence, when we should protest, Makes cowards out of men.
