“I'm for decency — period. I'm for anything and everything that bodes love and consideration for my fellow man.”

Frank Sinatra (1915–1998) American singer and film actor

Playboy interview (1963)
Context: I'm for decency — period. I'm for anything and everything that bodes love and consideration for my fellow man. But when lip service to some mysterious deity permits bestiality on Wednesday and absolution on Sunday — cash me out.

“It's awfully considerate of you to think of me here, and I'm most obliged to you for making it clear that I'm not here.”

“Children should not be suffer'd to lose the consideration of human nature in the shufflings of outward conditions.”

John Locke book Some Thoughts Concerning Education

Sec. 117
Some Thoughts Concerning Education (1693)
Context: Children should not be suffer'd to lose the consideration of human nature in the shufflings of outward conditions. The more they have, the better humor'd they should be taught to be, and the more compassionate and gentle to those of their brethren who are placed lower, and have scantier portions. If they are suffer'd from their cradles to treat men ill and rudely, because, by their father's title, they think they have a little power over them, at best it is ill-bred; and if care be not taken, will by degrees nurse up their natural pride into an habitual contempt of those beneath them. And where will that probably end but in oppression and cruelty?

“Far from being misanthropic, when an animal activist reaches out to a fellow human being, she or he is not only advocating on behalf of animals but helping another person realize the connection between our oppression of animals and the oppression of humans — and how liberating one group benefits the other.”

Mark Hawthorne (author) (1962) American activist
