My thoughts on these quotes
Since October 4 is World Animal Day, I have collected quotes on the topic of animals for this month. The quotes encourage us to have a better attitude towards animals, make us aware of the rights of all living beings, and tell us how important it is to respect all life on our planet.
I like all the quotes and they have a wonderful message, but I will highlight the following:
Mahatma Gandhi (October 1) because it perfectly tells how the greatness of a nation and each individual is reflected in how it treats animals.
George Eliot (October 10), who highlights why animals are such wonderful and agreeable friends.
Arthur Schopenhauer (October 29), because he captures the essence of man by saying that his attitude and treatment of animals reflects whether an individual is a good or a bad person.
Some of you may have noticed that for this month, the days in the thumbnails do not match the dates. I deeply apologize for this mistake and promise to be more careful next time I prepare new thumbnails for monthly positive quotes.
