Nothing will benefit human health and increase chances for survival of life on Earth as much as the evolution to a vegetarian diet.

It is my view that the vegetarian manner of living by its purely physical effect on the human temperament would most beneficially influence the lot of mankind.

Think occasionally of the suffering of which you spare yourself the sight.

It is our duty to share and maintain life. Reverence concerning all life is the greatest commandment in its most elementary form. Or expressed in negative terms: “Though shalt not kill.” We take this prohibition so lightly, thoughtlessly plucking a flower, thoughtlessly stepping on a poor insect... Reverence for life comprises the whole ethic of love in its deepest and highest sense. It is the source of constant renewal for the individual and for mankind.

Until he extends the circle of his compassion to all living things, man will not himself find peace.
