You cannot share your life with a dog, as I had done in Bournemouth, or a cat, and not know perfectly well that animals have personalities and minds and feelings.
Jane Goodall
Image
I have never had an animal that didn't have a personality, one differing from another.

Chimpanzees can be quite political.

If you really want something, and really work hard, and take advantage of opportunities, and never give up, you will find a way.. Follow your Dreams.

I think we must cling to the hope that we can see in the great heroism, the bravery of the firemen and policemen, and the outpouring of caring and concern that has come pouring in from around the world.

You have to really care about what you say. And if you don't, it will never come out quite right, unless you go into acting, in which case you have to act fast before you realize it is something which you do not believe in.
Jane Goodall
Image
I don't think anybody has the right to a huge family.

And this cannot be, so something has to change.

Jane Goodall

People say to me so often, 'Jane how can you be so peaceful when everywhere around you people want books signed, people are asking these questions and yet you seem peaceful,' and I always answer that it is the peace of the forest that I carry inside.
Jane Goodall
Image
It would be absolutely useless for any of us to work to save wildlife without working to educate the next generation of conservationists.
Jane Goodall
Image
I cannot remember a time when I did not want to go to Africa to study animals.
Jane Goodall
Image
If a chimp who has been abused horribly by humans can help a human friend in a time of need, how much more should we help the animals - and other people for that matter - in their time of need?
Jane Goodall
Image
There are many animal-welfare groups that sometimes seem to forget that human beings are animals too, that we need to include them in our sphere of compassion.
Jane Goodall
Image
Some humans are mathematicians-others aren't.
Jane Goodall
Image
Only if we understand, can we care. Only if we care, we will help. Only if we help, we shall be saved.

It's up to us to save the world for tomorrow: it's up to you and me.
