I have always been against cruelty to animals and remain so.

I believe in the protection of the environment that supports us all.

Cruelty is a part of nature, at least of human nature, but it is the one thing that seems unnatural to us.

The belief that we some day shall be able to prevent war is, to me, one with the belief in the possibility of making humanity really human.

We, as human beings, have the capacity for extreme cruelty.

My doctrine is this, that if we see cruelty or wrong that we have the power to stop, and do nothing, we make ourselves sharers in the guilt.

I only want to protect animals from barbarous, cruel, inhuman and backward rituals.

Cruelty to children is the thing I can least bear in the world.

Cruelty is a tyrant that's always attended with fear.

It is possible that the contemplation of cruelty will not make us humane but cruel; that the reiteration of the badness of our spiritual condition will make us consent to it.
