Wisdom Quote by Gary L. Francione — Inspiring Words on Life, Love & Wisdom

“We do not need to eat animals, wear animals, or use animals for entertainment purposes, and our only defense of these uses is our pleasure, amusement, and convenience.”

“Animals are property. There are laws that supposedly protect animal interests”

“To say that a being who is sentient has no interest in continuing to live is like saying that a being with eyes has no interest in continuing to see. Death—however “humane”—is a harm for humans and nonhumans alike.”

“We can no more justify using nonhumans as human resources than we can justify human slavery. Animal use and slavery have at least one important point in common: both institutions treat sentient beings exclusively as resources of others. That cannot be justified with respect to humans; it cannot be justified with respect to nonhumans—however “humanely” we treat them.”

“What you give your energy to must sustain you, not quielty drain you.”

“Hardships often prepare ordinary people for an extraordinary destiny.”

“Be a craftsman in speech that thou mayest be strong, for the strength of one is the tongue, and speech is mightier than all fighting.”

“Everything that looks too perfect is too perfect to be perfect.”

“I would rather be wise and than right and ignorant.”

“Wisdom is not having God's perspective of the whole matter before us, but having God's perspective about what next response will honor Him while keeping us still usable to Him.”
