A few inspirational quotes to keep you going...

The brooks for the fishers of song;
To the hunters who hunt for the gunless game
The streams and the woods belong.

Dear intelligent people of the world, don't get shampoo in your eyes. It really stings. There. Done. Now fu%&*ng stop torturing animals. ~Ricky Gervais
To a man whose mind is free there is something even more intolerable in the sufferings of animals than in the sufferings of man. For with the latter it is at least admitted that suffering is evil and that the man who causes it is a criminal.

And that is the unpardonable crime. ~Romain Rolland
If you have men who will exclude any of God's creatures from the shelter of compassion and pity, you will have men who will deal likewise with their fellow men. ~St. Francis of Assisi
People crushed by law, have no hopes but from power. If laws are their enemies, they will be enemies to laws; and those who have much to hope and nothing to lose, will always be dangerous. ~ Edmund Burke
When bad men combine, the good must associate; else they will fall one by one, an unpitied sacrifice in a contemptible struggle. ~ Edmund Burke
All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing. ~ Edmund Burke
