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

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

It is a man's sympathy with all creatures that truly makes him a man. Until he extends his circle of compassion to all living things, man himself will not find peace.

For animals that are overworked, underfed, and cruelly treated; for all wistful creatures in captivity that beat their wings against bars; for any that are hunted or lost or deserted or frightened or hungry; for all that must be put to death...and for those who deal with them we ask a heart of compassion and gentle hands and kindly words.
