from BLACK BEAUTY
My doctrine is this, that if we see cruelty or wrong that we have the power to stop, and do nothing, we make ourselves sharers in the guilt.
Anna Sewell
A powerful statement from Anna Sewell in Black Beauty, echoing the sentiment of John Stuart Mill’s words, ten years after his speech, and reminding us all: don’t be complicit in acts of cruelty by doing nothing. Exercise your power.
You can find more from Sewell on page 37.
