"Very little of the great cruelty shown by men can really
be attributed to cruel
instinct. Most of it comes from thoughtlessness or inherited habit. The
roots
of cruelty therefore, are not so much strong as widespread. But the time
must
come when inhumanity protected by custom and thoughtlessness will
succumb
before humanity championed by thought. Let us work that this time may
come."
Albert Schweitzer
