More quotes by 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
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
I believe the only hope for mankind lies in the hands of our young people.
Jane Goodall
In what terms should we think of these beings, nonhuman yet possessing so very many human-like characteristics? How should we treat them? Surely we should treat them with the same consideration and kindness as we show to other humans and as we recognize human rights, so too should we recognize the rights of the great apes? Yes.
Jane Goodall
We can't leave people in abject poverty, so we need to raise the standard of living for 80% of the world's people, while bringing it down considerably for the 20% who are destroying our natural resources.
Jane Goodall
If we kill off the wild, then we are killing a part of our souls.
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
Chimpanzees can be quite political.
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
The cheapest and most efficient way of slowing down global warming is to protect and restore the forests, particularly the tropical forests
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
It's up to us to save the world for tomorrow: it's up to you and me.
Jane Goodall
We're the ones who can make a difference. If we lead lives where we consciously leave the lightest possible ecological footprints, if we buy the things that are ethical for us to buy and don't buy the things that are not, we can change the world overnight.
Jane Goodall
One individual cannot possible make a difference, alone. It is individual efforts, collectively, that makes a noticeable difference - all the difference in the world!
Jane Goodall
From my perspective, I absolutely believe in a greater spiritual power, far greater than I am, from which I have derived strength in moments of sadness or fear. That's what I believe, and it was very, very strong in the forest.
Jane Goodall
There are many people out there (me being one of them) who can vouch that animals have feelings they feel compassion and love, as well as pain!
Jane Goodall
I am obstinate and I will not give in.
Jane Goodall
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
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
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.
