Imagine that you are creating a fabric of human destiny with the object of making men happy in the end, giving them peace and rest at last. Imagine that you are doing this but that it is essential and inevitable to torture to death only one tiny creature. . . in order to found that edifice on its unavenged tears. Would you consent to be the architect on those conditions? Tell me. Tell the truth.
Every creature is better alive than dead, men and moose and pine trees, and he who understands it aright will rather preserve its life than destroy it.
I'm a lazy creature when I'm not acting.
Each day we are becoming a creature of splendid glory or one of unthinkable horror.
I believe in humanity. We are an incredible species. We're still just a child creature, we're still being nasty to each other. And all children go through those phases. We're growing up, we're moving into adolescence now. When we grow up - man, we're going to be something!
Man is a creature who lives not upon bread alone, but primarily by catchwords.
We are not damned. We never were. Who under the sun has the right to damn any living breathing creature?
Repugnant is a creature who would squander the ability To lift an eye to heaven, conscious of his fleeting time here
If we cannot give freedom to every creature, let us do nothing that will impose slavery upon any other creature.

It takes longer for man to find out man than any other creature that is made.
Have you ever observed a humming-bird moving about in an aerial dance among the flowers - a living prismatic gem. . . . it is a creature of such fairy-like loveliness as to mock all description.
See the genius in everyone you encounter. Just as the mountain cannot crack a nut though it can carry a forest on its back, so too does every living creature have its own perfection built into it.
You sell yourself. The part that I sell is the creature. The adorable part.
I am not a creature of habit.
How could you deal with a creature as devious as woman.
Not being known doesn't stop the truth from being true. You are led through your lifetime by the inner learning creature, the playful spiritual being that is your real self. What the caterpillar calls the end of the world, the master calls a butterfly. Learning is finding out what we already know. Doing is demonstrating that you know it. Teaching is reminding others that they know just as well as you. You are all learners, doers and teachers. The best way to pay for a lovely moment is to enjoy it.
Never shall a man attain to the perfect love of God who has not loved to perfection some creature in this world.
There is no creature so small and abject, that it representeth not the goodness of God.
