It Is Requisite To Defend

Choose Always The Way That Seems The Best, However Rough It May Be; Custom Will Soon Render It Easy And Agreeable.

The Animals Share With Us The Privilege Of Having A Soul Alas, What Wickedness To Swallow Flesh Into Our Own Flesh, To Fatten Our Greedy Bodies By Cramming In Other Bodies, To Have One Living Creature Fed By The Death Of Another! In The Midst Of Such Wealth As Earth, The Best Of Mothers, Provides, Yet Nothing Satisfies You, But To Behave Like The Cyclopes, Inflicting Sorry Wounds With Cruel Teeth! You Cannot Appease The Hungry Cravings Of Your Wicked, Gluttonous Stomachs Except By Destroying Some Other Life.

Dear Youths, I Warn You Cherish Peace Divine, And In Your Hearts Lay Deep These Words Of Mine.

None Can Be Free Who Is A Slave To, And Ruled By, His Passions.

The Earth Affords A Lavish Supply Of Richess Of Innocent Foods, And Offers You Banquets That Involve No Bloodshed Or Slaughter; Only Beasts Satisfy Their Hunger With Flesh, And Not Even All Of Those, Because Horses, Cattle, And Sheep Live On Grass.
