"There is no fundamental difference between man and the higher
mammals in their mental faculties.... The difference in mind between man
and the higher animals, great as it is, certainly is one of degree and
not of kind. The love for all living creatures is the most noble
attribute of man. We have seen that the senses and intuitions, the
various emotions and faculties, such as love, memory, attention and
curiosity, imitation, reason, etc., of which man boasts, may be found in
an incipient, or even sometimes a well-developed condition, in the lower
animals."
"The love for all living creatures is the most noble attribute of
man."
