About This Quote

The greatness of humanity lies not in being human, but in being humane. This quote is about the importance of treating others as we would like to be treated. If we want to be treated humanely, we must first be kind to others and show compassion for them. We can do something about our treatment of animals if we take the time to learn more about them and become informed on their needs and how we can help them. By showing compassion towards animals, we hopefully will show compassion for other people and not treat them as less than human.
