- These (musk and hair from the gavaya cows) are always in great demand for the higher classes of Hindu population, and such business (trade) still goes on in large cities and villages in India

- They very much satisfied the Lord by incessantly pouring flowers from the sky. When everything was very nicely and joyfully settled, the cows overflooded the surface of the earth with their milk
- This increase of affection was not maya; rather, because Krsna had expanded Himself as everything and because the whole life of everyone in Vrndavana was meant for Krsna, the cows, because of affection for Krsna, had more affection for the older calves
- This industry is horrible work. Simply by tilling your ground you get food grains, and keep some cows, you get milk - your economic problem is solved. Why such big, big industries? Ugra-karma
- This is a wrong type of civilization, a civilization of ignorance. Animal civilization. Just like animals: a cat, a dog, the cow, he does not know what is the working principle in the body
- This is Krsna consciousness. Why should I kill unnecessarily an animal? We have got so many nice foodstuff. Krsna has given me grains, fruits, milk. The cows, they are supplying tons of milk, but they are not claiming
- This is the duty of the mercantile class of men: to improve agriculture, to give protection to the cows, krsi-go-raksya. And vanijyam. And if you have got excess food, you can trade, vanijyam. This is the business

- Those who come to the human form through the quality of sattva-guna were cows in their last animal incarnation

- To have some milk from the cow and get the fruits from the trees in the jungle, that was sufficient. That is sufficient still. Anywhere, any part of the world, you can live without any economic problem
- To make solution of this problem (if you take birth as cow after being nationalist and sent to slaughterhouse), athato brahma jijnasa: "Now inquire what is the Absolute Truth." That is intelligence

- Vrndavana inhabitants, they are always anxious how to save the cows. Always. They are connected with cows
- Vrndavana life means Krsna comes, descends Himself to show what is Krsna, what is God. So the picture, Vrndavana life, that is village life. There are villagers, cultivators, cows, calves - that is Vrndavana
- Vrndavana life means the gopis, the cowherd boys, the cowherdsmen, the elderly men, Nanda Maharaja, Yasodarani, every cows, calves, trees, flowers, Yamuna - everyone is dedicated to Krsna. That is Vrndavana. They have no other business

- We don't want to have to purchase food for the cows outside from some other party; that will run into a great expense
- We find so many faults in such welfare activities. They are opening hospitals for the human being, but the poor goats and cows, daridra-narayana - they are also daridra-narayana according to the definition - but they are being killed
- We find that in Bhagavad-gita Lord Krsna advises go-raksya, the protection of cows. This is essential because if cows are cared for properly they will surely supply sufficient milk
- We have practical experience in America that in our various ISKCON farms we are giving proper protection to the cows and receiving more than enough milk. In other farms the cows do not deliver as much milk as in our farms
- We say protect cow from economic point of view, krsi-go-raksya-vanijyam. Without saving cows you cannot get good food. Not from the animal point of view. You require milk and milk preparation

- We take the same blood in a very intelligible way so that cow may live

- When Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu passed through Vrndavana, herds of grazing cows saw Him pass and, immediately surrounding Him, began to moo very loudly
- When the asses will come to this standard, "Why I am working so hard?" then he's human being; otherwise he's no better than the cows and the asses
- When the bull and the cow are in a joyful mood, people of the world are also in a joyful mood. The reason is that the bull helps production of grains in the agricultural field, and the cow delivers milk, the miracle of aggregate food values

- Why we should treat the animals as different? Because there is no KC. I have got my consciousness that, "The human beings in America are my brothers, or my countrymen. They should be given all protection." And why not cows? They are also born in America
- With only these two things, cows and grain, humanity can solve its eating problem
- Without such knowledge (that Brahman is present everywhere), one cannot claim to be a human being; rather, he remains in the animal kingdom. As it is said, sa eva go-kharah: (SB 10.84.13) without such knowledge, one is no better than a cow or an ass
- Worthless men, with the modes of lower-class men, at the post of a king are sure to first hurt the cow and the brahminical culture, thereby pushing all society towards hell

- You can get your necessities of life very easily. By tilling the field, you get grains. And if there is cow, you get milk. That's all. That is sufficient
- You drink the blood of the cow by natural process, which turns into white milk. You'll get better brain, better strength. Therefore cow protection is very essential in Vedic civilization

- You protect the cows and take the best food in the world, milk. That is enjoyment. Not foolishly to eat the cow
- You should produce enough food grains, enough fodder for the cows, and live peacefully, chant Hare Krsna, make this life. At least one life we should do like that. It is very happy life
- You take fruit from the trees and drink milk, you are also sufficient. You don't require to cook even. There are fruits. Formerly all the sages they were taking fruits from the trees, and milk from the cows. That's all
- You work little, get your food grains produced, and you can sumptuously eat. But it doesn't require a scientific slaughterhouse for bringing big, big cows and live in the city at the cost of the life of the poor animals. This is misuse of intelligence
- Your beauty is the most sublime within the three worlds. Upon seeing Your beauty, even cows, birds, animals and trees in the forest become stunned in jubilation
