Some key personalities and their inspirational quotes

Leonardo da Vinci - 1452 - 1519

"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"

Mahatma Gandhi - 1869 - 1948

"I do feel that spiritual progress does demand, at some stage, that we should cease to kill our fellow creatures for the satisfaction of our bodily wants"

George Bernard Shaw - 1856 - 1950

Leo Tolstoy - 1828 - 1910
