One individual cannot possible make a difference, alone. It is individual efforts, collectively, that makes a noticeable difference - all the difference in the world!

More quotes by Jane Goodall
I believe sharing stories and experiences is the best way to teach people to empathize!
Jane Goodall
Even chimps understand the concept - if a troop of chimps enters a fruit tree, they will only pick the fruits that are ripe and leave the others growing. That is sustainability.
Jane Goodall
As human beings, we can encompass a vague feeling of what the universe is, and all in this funny little brain here - so there has to be something more than just brain, it has to be something to do with spirit as well.
Jane Goodall
It has actually been suggested that warfare may have been the principle evolutionary pressure that created the huge gap between the human brain and that of our closest living relatives, the anthropoid apes. Whole groups of hominids with inferior brains could not win wars and were therefore exterminated.
Jane Goodall
We, as humans, have actually developed a sense of social responsibility. We have gone beyond our basic instincts.
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 awful thing is we don't respect each other.
Jane Goodall
We are beginning to learn that each animal has a life and a place and a role in this world. If we place compassion and care in the middle of all our dealings with the animal world and honor and respect their lives, our attitudes will change.
Jane Goodall
Some people actually do not like animals - hard for me to understand, but true.
Jane Goodall
I don't think that faith, whatever you're being faithful about, really can be scientifically explained. And I don't want to explain this whole life business through truth, science. There's so much mystery. There's so much awe.
Jane Goodall
I was the sort of person who didn't care about hairdressing and clothes and parties and boyfriends. I really wanted to be in the wild.
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
A sense of calm came over me. More and more often I found myself thinking, This is where I belong. This is what I came into this world to do.
Jane Goodall
Chimps are brutal, and it is so deliberate. The males go out and get near the boundary of their territory. And they walk very silently trying hard not to make any noise. They will climb into a tree and stare out over hostile territory for hours. They are waiting for the right opportunity. And then they attack.
Jane Goodall
Every stage of my life set the scene for the next, and at each point all I had to do was say yes and not think too much about the consequences.
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
Some people say, therefore, that violence and war are inevitable. I say rubbish: Our brains are fully capable of controlling instinctive behavior.
Jane Goodall
Having respect for animals makes us better humans.
Jane Goodall
Other people have talked about chimpanzees being a window into the past, which I suppose is true, in a way.
Jane Goodall
I am living in the Africa I have always longed for, always felt stirring in my blood.
Jane Goodall
