More quotes by Jane Goodall
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
You cannot share your life with a dog, as I had done in Bournemouth, or a cat, and not know perfectly well that animals have personalities and minds and feelings.
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
To reconnect with nature is key if we want to save the planet.
Jane Goodall
War had always seemed to me to be a purely human behavior. Accounts of warlike behavior date back to the very first written records of human history it seemed to be an almost universal characteristic of human groups.
Jane Goodall
If you look through all the different cultures. Right from the earliest, earliest days with the animistic religions, we have sought to have some kind of explanation for our life, for our being, that is outside of our humanity.
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
I believe sharing stories and experiences is the best way to teach people to empathize!
Jane Goodall
There isn't a sharp line dividing humans from the rest of the animal kingdom. All the time, we find animals doing things that, in our arrogance, we thought were just human.
Jane Goodall
I think we're still in a muddle with our language, because once you get words and a spoken language it gets harder to communicate.
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
Having respect for animals makes us better humans.
Jane Goodall
Children can change the world.
Jane Goodall
We seem to have lost the wisdom of the indigenous people, which dictated that in any major decision, the first consideration was 'How will this decision we're making today affect our people in the future? These days, decisions are made based on the bottom line.
Jane Goodall
Thousands of people who say they love animals sit down once or twice a day to enjoy the flesh of creatures who have been utterly deprived of everything that could make their lives worth living and who endured the awful suffering and the terror of the abattoirs...
Jane Goodall
Just remember--if you are really and truly determined to work with animals, somehow, either now or later, you will find a way to do it. But you have to want it desperately, work hard, take advantage of an opportunity--and never give up.
Jane Goodall
However much you know giraffes, to see one in the wild for the first time feels prehistoric.
Jane Goodall
I have never had an animal that didn't have a personality, one differing from another.
Jane Goodall
If you work hard and be persistent, you will achieve whatever you want to do.
Jane Goodall
I believe the only hope for mankind lies in the hands of our young people.
