The awful thing is we don't respect each other.
Jane Goodall
Image
I don't have any idea of who or what God is. But I do believe in some great spiritual power. I feel it particularly when I’m out in nature. It’s just something that's bigger and stronger than what I am or what anybody is. I feel it. And it's enough for me.
Jane Goodall
Image
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
Image
Change happens by listening and then starting a dialogue with the people who are doing something you don't believe is right.
Jane Goodall

Having respect for animals makes us better humans.
Jane Goodall
Image
If you catch somebody doing something wrong, he will just cringe away and curl up. He will not listen anymore. Instead, he will think of how he can counterattack.
Jane Goodall
Image
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
Image
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
Image
I don't even think of chimps as animals. I think of them as beings.
Jane Goodall
Image
I don't think anybody has the right to a huge family. There's already more people on the planet than our natural resources can even support, and if everybody were to have a high standard of living, we need three or four or five new planets to provide the resources. And this cannot be, so something has to change.
Jane Goodall
Image
A chimp would never plan to pull another's nails out.
Jane Goodall
Image
If harsher laws are put in place, less will dare to break them.
Jane Goodall
Image
Well, in some ways we're not successful at all. We're destroying our home. That's not a bit successful.
Jane Goodall
Image
Animals are as deserving of a place on this planet as we are, and the difference between us is that humans have a voice they can use to help the animal cause, and it is up to all of us to use it to make a positive difference!
Jane Goodall
Image
Words can be said in bitterness and anger, and often there seems to be an element of truth in the nastiness. And words don't go away, they just echo around.
Jane Goodall
Image
It's up to us to save the world for tomorrow: it's up to you and me.
Jane Goodall
Image
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.

Image
I am living in the Africa I have always longed for, always felt stirring in my blood.
Jane Goodall
Image
I believe that accurate knowledge is very, very important, but find that out in free time. Don't let it take over every hour of the day. Perhaps most important, talk about it.

To reconnect with nature is key if we want to save the planet.
