More quotes by Jane Goodall
I believe the only hope for mankind lies in the hands of our young people.
Jane Goodall
Here we are, arguably the most intelligent being that's ever walked planet Earth, with this extraordinary brain ... and yet we're destroying the only home we have.
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
Chimps act the way they feel unless they are afraid of reprisal if they do so. But that doesn't apply to humans.
Jane Goodall
If you really want something, and really work hard, and take advantage of opportunities, and never give up, you will find a way.. Follow your Dreams.
Jane Goodall
What makes us human, I think, is an ability to ask questions, a consequence of our sophisticated spoken language.
Jane Goodall
My favorite animals are dogs.
Jane Goodall
I think the most important thing to do is to be willing to listen, willing to care, and willing to admit mistakes and change your ways for the better!
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
I cannot remember a time when I did not want to go to Africa to study animals.
Jane Goodall
Every single day, we could be in a motorcar accident, so, we have to carry on with our lives, and not imagine terror around every corner.
Jane Goodall
We could change the world tomorrow if all the millions of people around the world acted the way they believe.
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
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
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
If a chimp who has been abused horribly by humans can help a human friend in a time of need, how much more should we help the animals - and other people for that matter - in their time of need?
Jane Goodall
The more we spread the word, the further it will go and more it will change!
Jane Goodall
The person who has the most influence on me is my mother. Think of life as a flight where we fly higher and higher. If I were a bird that needs feathers to fly higher, I would regard my mother as my strongest feather.
Jane Goodall
Some people actually do not like animals - hard for me to understand, but true.
Jane Goodall
There would be very little point in my exhausting myself and other conservationists themselves in trying to protect animals and habitats if we weren't at the same time raising young people to be better stewards.
