More quotes by Jane Goodall
A chimp would never plan to pull another's nails out.
Jane Goodall
Chimpanzees, gorillas, orangutan shave been living for hundreds of thousands of years in their forest,living fantastic lives, never overpopulating, never destroying the forest. I would say that they have been in a way more successful than us as far as being in harmony with the environment.
Jane Goodall
We have a responsibility toward the other life-forms of our planet whose continued existence is threatened by the thoughtless behavior of our own human species. . . . Environmental responsibility – for if there is no God, then, obviously, it is up to us to put things right.
Jane Goodall
Change happens by listening and then starting a dialogue with the people who are doing something you don't believe is right.
Jane Goodall
Some people say, therefore, that violence and war are inevitable. I say rubbish: Our brains are fully capable of controlling instinctive behavior.
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
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
Animals were my passion from even before I could speak apparently. When I was about 10, 11 I fell in love with Tarzan.
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
We are unique. Chimpanzees are unique. Dogs are unique. But we humans are just not as different as we used to think.
Jane Goodall
I sometimes wonder how some people can live with themselves in some of the big companies today. So many far-reaching decisions are based on how they will affect the next shareholders' meeting.
Jane Goodall
My favorite animals are dogs.
Jane Goodall
We seem to have lost the wisdom of the indigenous people, which dictated that in any major decision, the first consideration was 'How will this decision we're making today affect our people in the future? These days, decisions are made based on the bottom line.
Jane Goodall
I got to Africa. I got the opportunity to go and learn, not about any animal, but chimpanzees. I was living in my dream world, the forest in Gombe National Park in Tanzania. It was Tanganyika when I began.
Jane Goodall
Let us develop respect for all living things. Let us try to replace violence and intolerance with understanding and compassion. And love.
Jane Goodall
Surely it should be a matter of moral responsibility that we humans, different from other animals mainly by virtue of our more highly developed intellect and, with it, our greater capacity for understanding and compassion, ensure that medical progress slowly detaches its roots from the manure of non-human animal suffering and despair.
Jane Goodall
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.
Jane Goodall
If you work hard and be persistent, you will achieve whatever you want to do.
Jane Goodall
I think anything is better than war. The extent to which one can negotiate with fanatics, I have no idea. I don't know.
Jane Goodall
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
