Each year, billions of animals are subjected to cruelty on factory farms, feed lots, and slaughterhouses. The brutality that these animals endure would be grounds for felony cruelty charges if inflicted upon our cats and dogs.

Peter Dinklage

The worst cruelty that can be inflicted on a human being is isolation.

Sukarno

Life has shown me all too often that there is no rhyme or reason to the cruelty inflicted upon humanity.

Cassia Leo

It's more interesting when people overcome inner turbulence, but at the same time I do like the innocent. Have you ever read The Idiot? I think Dostoyevsky created a brilliant character there. He doesn't have any self-inflicted wounds. I love that. People don't like him because he's so pure.

Josh Hartnett

Mercy to the guilty is cruelty to the innocent.

Adam Smith

No cause justifies the deaths of innocent people.

Albert Camus

Not all games are innocent. Some come dangerously close to cruelty.

Elie Wiesel

Why does shame and self-loathing become cruelty to the innocent ?

Anne Rice

What I do know is that drones are a modern weapon. When used effectively, when taking out ISIS or terrorist leaders, that's pretty impressive. When bombing wedding parties of innocent people and killing dozens of them, that is, needless to say, not effective and enormously counterproductive. So whatever the mechanism, whoever is in control of that policy, it has to be refined so that we are killing the people we want to kill and not innocent collateral damage.

Bernie Sanders

The main cause of poverty is self-inflicted fear and ignorance.

Robert Kiyosaki

The tragedy of the people of Palestine is that their country was “given” by a foreign power to another people for the creation of a new state. The result was that many hundreds of thousands of innocent people were made permanently homeless. With every new conflict their numbers increased. How much longer is the world willing to endure this spectacle of wanton cruelty?

Bertrand Russell

We can't accommodate terrorism. When someone uses the slaughter of innocent people to advance a so-called political cause, at that point the political cause becomes immoral and unjust and they should be eliminated from any serious discussion, any serious debate.
