Having respect for animals makes us better humans.
Jane Goodall
Image
I don't even think of chimps as animals. I think of them as beings.
Jane Goodall
Image
Be assured that our individual actions, collectively, make a huge difference.
Jane Goodall
Image
If plants could be credited with reasoning powers, we would marvel at the imaginative ways they bribe or ensnare other creatures to carry out their wishes.
Jane Goodall
Image
Your life matters. You can't live through a day without making an impact on the world. And what's most important is to think about the impact of your actions on the world around you.
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.
Jane Goodall
Image
We have the choice to use the gift of our life to make the world a better place--or not to bother
Jane Goodall

I think the most important thing is to keep active, and to hope that your mind stays active.

Jane Goodall
Image
When I go back to Gombe it's to be in that timeless world where it's soft and where life is entwined and you actually see the pattern of nature. I always feel this great spiritual power which I believe is around.
Jane Goodall
Image
There are many animal-welfare groups that sometimes seem to forget that human beings are animals too, that we need to include them in our sphere of compassion.
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
I always loved animals. And when I was ten, I decided I had to go to Africa and live with animals and write books about them.
Jane Goodall
Image
We could change the world tomorrow if all the millions of people around the world acted the way they believe.
Jane Goodall
Image
It's been proven by quite a few studies that plants are good for our psychological development. If you green an area, the rate of crime goes down. Torture victims begin to recover when they spend time outside in a garden with flowers. So we need them, in some deep psychological sense, which I don't suppose anybody really understands yet.

It was both fascinating and appalling to learn that chimpanzees were capable of hostile and territorial behavior that was not unlike certain forms of primitive human warfare.
Jane Goodall
Image
I am living in the Africa I have always longed for, always felt stirring in my blood.
Jane Goodall
Image
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
Image
I have never had an animal that didn't have a personality, one differing from another.
