About This Quote

The creatures that inhabit this earth--be they human beings or animals--are here to contribute, each in its own particular way, to the beauty and prosperity of the world. What is this contribution? It is the giving of their lives so that we can share in an endeavor for which we must all be grateful and honored: to create a world of peace and tranquility. It is a tribute we pay to each creature on earth, and we are all alike in our regard for the gift it has given us.
