“Habit allows us to go from 'before' to 'after,' to make life easier and better. Habit is notorious - and rightly so - for its ability to direct our actions, even against our will; but by mindfully shaping our habits, we can harness the power of mindlessness as a sweeping force for serenity, energy, and growth.” ~Gretchen Rubin
“A simple act of kindness and compassion towards a single animal may not mean anything to all creatures, but will mean everything to one.” ~ Paul Oxton
