More quotes by Jane Goodall
You aren't going to save the world on your own. But you might inspire a generation of kids to save it for all of us. You would be amazed at what inspired children can do.
Jane Goodall
If we do not do something to help these creatures, we make a mockery of the whole concept of justice.
Jane Goodall
I like some animals more than some people, some people more than some animals.
Jane Goodall
Certainly it's very often true that women tend to be a bit quieter and more prepared to sit there and let the animal tell you things.
Jane Goodall
There is a lot of corruption all over the world and not only when it comes to illegal wildlife trade! There are a few ways to ensure this stops: If there are no customers, there will be no trade.
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
It made me feel particularly sickened to know that this kind of callous attitude toward animals is repeated again and again in laboratories around this country.
Jane Goodall
There isn't a sharp line dividing humans from the rest of the animal kingdom. All the time, we find animals doing things that, in our arrogance, we thought were just human.
Jane Goodall
My mission is to create a world where we can live in harmony with nature. And can I do that alone? No. So there is a whole army of youth that can do it. So I suppose my mission is to reach as many of those young people as I can through my own efforts.
Jane Goodall
Well, in some ways we're not successful at all. We're destroying our home. That's not a bit successful.
Jane Goodall
For those who have experienced the joy of being alone with nature there is really little need for me to say much more for those who have not, no words of mine can ever describe the powerful, almost mystical knowledge of beauty and eternity that come, suddenly, and all unexpected.
Jane Goodall
The cheapest and most efficient way of slowing down global warming is to protect and restore the forests, particularly the tropical forests
Jane Goodall
Language allows us to talk about the past and plan the future. We can teach children about things that are not present. And above all, we can bring people with different backgrounds and different knowledge together to discuss our problems. This actually gives me hope. I still think we are smart enough to not destroy planet Earth, our only home.
Jane Goodall
We have the choice to use the gift of our life to make the world a better place--or not to bother
Jane Goodall
People don't believe that their actions really and truly are going to make a difference. But kids get it. They know. And they get all excited about the difference they're making.
Jane Goodall
I would never say I was an icon, but so many people have said I am, so I suppose I am. I mean, I can't not be what everyone says I am. But I don't feel like an icon.
Jane Goodall
Our brain is almost the same as the chimps', but we have language, we have electronic communications, we've put people on the moon - we are immensely more intelligent. And yet: how come the being with the most extraordinary intellect ever is destroying its only planet?
Jane Goodall
A chimp would never plan to pull another's nails out.
Jane Goodall
I've learned that if you want people to join in any kind of conservation effort, you have to help them to care with their hearts, not just their heads.
Jane Goodall
At some point, my body will collapse. But I hope that my brain will still be working so that I can carry on with writing.
