It is always fun to read quotes from vegetarians or about vegetarianism, so here is a look at a few vegetarian-related quotes from famous people that you might enjoy. Some provide us with a good chance to laugh at ourselves, while others provide some food for thought (pun intended!).
Gerald Lieberman –"Vegetarian: A person who eats only side dishes"
David Brenner –"A vegetarian is a person who won't eat anything that can have children"
Mahatma Gandhi — "The greatness of a nation and its moral progress can be judged by the way its animals are treated."
Mahatma Gandhi — "To my mind, the life of a lamb is no less precious than that of a human being."
Albert Einstein — "Our task must be to free ourselves . . . by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature and its beauty."
Albert Einstein — "Nothing will benefit human health and increase chances of survival for life on earth as much as the evolution to a vegetarian diet."
(Author unknown) –"If vegetarians eat vegetables, what do humanitarians eat?"
William S. Gilbert –"Deer hunting would be fine sport, if only the deer had guns"
Jay Leno –"McDonalds announced it's considering a more humane way of slaughtering its animals. You know they fatten them up and then kill them. You know the same thing they do to their customers, isn't it?"
Romain Rolland — "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. But thousands of animals are uselessly butchered every day without a shadow of remorse. If any man were to refer to it, he would be thought ridiculous. And that is the unpardonable crime."
George Bernard Shaw –"Animals are my friends…and I don't eat my friends"
George Bernard Shaw — If a group of beings from another planet were to land on Earth — beings who considered themselves as superior to you as you feel yourself to be to other animals — would you concede them the rights over you that you assume over other animals?"
Alex Poulos –"I will not eat anything that walks, runs, skips, hops or crawls. God knows that I've crawled on occasion, and I'm glad that no one ate me."
Leonardo da Vinci — "The time will come when men such as I will look upon the murder of animals as they now look on the murder of men."
