1.
Taking all vegetable-eating nations together . . . they are a larger and much better formed race than the flesh eaters.
Sylvester Graham

2.
What I build upon I shall be told is a folly that wise men are not guilty of: I own it; but whilst it proceeds from a real passion inherent in our nature, it is sufficient to demonstrate that we are born with a repugnancy to the killing, and consequently the eating of animals; for it is impossible that a natural appetite should ever prompt us to act, or desire others to do, what we have an aversion to, be it as foolish as it will.
Sylvester Graham
