Anna Brownell Jameson“It would seem as if the primitive
Christian, by laying so much stress upon a future life in
contradistinction to this life, and placing the lower creatures out of the
pale of hope, placed them at the same time out of the pale of sympathy,
and thus laid the foundation for this utter disregard of animals in the
light of our fellow creatures…”
[Ed. Note: This quotation has been attributed to Mrs. Jameson, but from
our research it appears that she was quoting Dr. Thomas Arnold (1795-1842)
who was headmaster of Rugby School, as well as a preacher.]
“The true purpose of education is to
cherish and unfold the seed of immortality already sown within us; to
develop, to their fullest extent, the capacities of every kind with which
the God who made us has endowed us.”
~Winter Studies and Summer Rambles
“I do not remember ever to have heard the kind and just treatment of animals enforced on Christian principles or made the subject of a sermon.”
