The moral sense perhaps affords the best and highest distinction between man and the lower animals.

If with uncorrupted mind you feel good will for even one being, you become skilled from that. But a Noble One produces a mind of sympathy for all beings, an abundance of merit.

In whom there is no sympathy for living beings: know him as an outcast.

Pity may represent little more than the impersonal concern which prompts the mailing of a check, but true sympathy is the personal concern which demands the giving of one's soul.

Besides love and sympathy, animals exhibit other qualities connected with the social instincts which in us would be called moral.

I believe man . . . in the same predicament with other animals.
