Life at any time can become difficult: life at any time can become easy. It all depends upon how one adjusts oneself to life.

All good things are difficult to achieve; and bad things are very easy to get.

If we do not want to be pained by anybody we must not pain anybody; and how can man consider himself humane if he wants to live at the cost of others.

As long as man eats animals how can cruelty to animals be removed.

One can't be kind to one person and cruel to another.

The vegetarian movement is an ancient movement and is not quite a modern one.

One has got to choose between the two evils, also between the lesser of the two evils in the matter of food, and therefore vegetarian food has got to be taken by man in order to sustain human life.

I believe in preventing cruelty to all living beings in any form.

An expert gives an objective view. He gives his own view.

Self-help must precede help from others. Even for making certain of help from heaven, one has to help oneself.

Even when the lightening flashes inside them we say they are only clouds and turn our attention to the next meal, the next pain, the next breath, the next page. This is how we go on.

I am, in some sense, a writer. Even though I kinda downplay the word thing, I do enjoy writing sometimes.

I never felt that there was anything enviable in youth. I cannot recall that any of us, as youths, admired our condition to excess or had a desire to prolong it.

It is the 'follow through' that makes the great difference between ultimate success and failure, because it is so easy to stop.

Any wife will save you from purgatory, and a diligent one will secure heaven to you.

I am driven out of fatherlands and motherlands. Thus I now love only my children's land, yet undiscovered, in the farthest sea; for this I bid my sails search and search.

I can rap; that's what I was originally really good at.

You're so consumed with how much you get, you waste your time with hate and regret.

A guy should be a guy. You don't want him to be too... shiny.

When I hear somebody sigh, 'Life is hard,' I am always tempted to ask, 'Compared to what?'
