{"quotes":[{"text":"By saying that human issues are more important than non-human issues, that violence to humans is more relevant than violence to animals, one forgets that the animal liberation movement implies a message of peace for every being on earth and the opposition against the mindset of oppression. To make a distinction between one violence and another is exactly the root of all violence: Some wouldn't do any harm to those who share with them a flag, a religion, a language, etc. But would easily condemn to suffering and death those who are different. This tragic use of diversity as an excuse to inflict pain on others for a matter of profit and convenience is the cause of suffering for both human and non-human animals.","author":"Mango Wodzak","tags":["animal-liberation","animal-rights","convenience","human-rights","opposition","oppression","peace","profit","religion","suffering"],"id":154,"author_id":"Mango+Wodzak"},{"text":"If you listen to critics for too long, you will become deaf to success.","author":"Matshona Dhliwayo","tags":["criticism","critics","destiny","dreamer","dreams","envy","failure","greatness","haters","inspirational","jelousy","leadership","motivational-inspirational","motivational","motivational","motivational-for-runners","motivational-for-women","naysayers","opposition","success"],"id":1039,"author_id":"Matshona+Dhliwayo"},{"text":"The bigger the bricks critics throw at you the bigger the palace you are going to build.","author":"Matshona Dhliwayo","tags":["adversity","build","challenges","criticism","critics","dream","dreamer","envy","faith","greatness","haters","inspirational","inspirational","inspirational-for-men","inspirational-for-women","inspirational-for-writers","inspirational-motivation","jelousy","motivation","motivational-inspirational","motivational-inspirational-life","motivational","motivational-of-the-day","motivational","motivational-for-women","naysayers","obstacles","opposition","overcomer","overcoming-adversity","overcoming-challenges","overcoming-obstacles","overcoming","palace","perseverance","persistence","resilience","success"],"id":3030,"author_id":"Matshona+Dhliwayo"},{"text":"Opposition should never keep you from the work God has called you to do.","author":"Jim George","tags":["bible","called","christian","faith","god","keep","opposition","work"],"id":14784,"author_id":"Jim+George"},{"text":"Before you cut down the tree, think of the birds that take refuge on it.","author":"Ernest Agyemang Yeboah","tags":["decision-making","empathy","food-for-thought","life","life-challenges","opposition","pride","sympathy"],"id":18634,"author_id":"Ernest+Agyemang+Yeboah"},{"text":"These days when Christians bicker they exaggerate passion into a legalistic belief and prosperity into a lukewarm belief.","author":"Criss Jami","tags":["apologetics","arguing","argumentation","belief","bickering","christian","christianity","conflict","criticism","debating","denominations","disagreement","exaggeration","gospel","hypocrisy","judgment","legalism","lukewarm","opposition","passion","prosperity","religion","spirituality"],"id":19153,"author_id":"Criss+Jami"},{"text":"There is an easy way to silence your critics; just try to do what they say you can't do.
