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.

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

I do not say that one who is vegetarian is full of compassion and one who is not, is otherwise. We sometimes find people, who are vegetarians, are very bad people.

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

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

Therefore, vegetarianism alone can give us the quality of com-passion, which distinguishes man from the rest of the animal world.
