I think we must cling to the hope that we can see in the great heroism, the bravery of the firemen and policemen, and the outpouring of caring and concern that has come pouring in from around the world.

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

Chimps are unbelievably like us - in biological, non-verbal ways. They can be loving and compassionate and yet they have a dark side... 98 per cent of our DNA is the same. The difference is that we have developed language - we can teach about things that aren't there, plan for the future, discuss, share ideas

My hope for the future is that we learn wisdom again.

Even chimps understand the concept - if a troop of chimps enters a fruit tree, they will only pick the fruits that are ripe and leave the others growing. That is sustainability.

Having respect for animals makes us better humans.

The more we spread the word, the further it will go and more it will change!

In a very unscientific statement, I feel that there's been a disconnect between this clever brain and the heart.
Jane Goodall
Image
Let us develop respect for all living things. Let us try to replace violence and intolerance with understanding and compassion. And love.
Jane Goodall
Image
Some people say, therefore, that violence and war are inevitable. I say rubbish: Our brains are fully capable of controlling instinctive behavior.
Jane Goodall

Cumulatively small decisions, choices, actions, make a very big difference.
Jane Goodall

We have the choice to use the gift of our life to make the world a better place--or not to bother

Successful actors and actresses have to get themselves into their roles before acting. Therefore, you need to really care about what you are saying.
Jane Goodall
Image
A good mother is protective but not over-protective. She's patient, she's affectionate, she's playful, but above all she is supportive.
Jane Goodall

People say to me so often, 'Jane how can you be so peaceful when everywhere around you people want books signed, people are asking these questions and yet you seem peaceful,' and I always answer that it is the peace of the forest that I carry inside.
Jane Goodall
Image
You aren't going to save the world on your own. But you might inspire a generation of kids to save it for all of us. You would be amazed at what inspired children can do.
Jane Goodall
Image
What makes us human, I think, is an ability to ask questions, a consequence of our sophisticated spoken language.
Jane Goodall
Image
And I thought how sad it was that, for all our sophisticated intellect, for all our noble aspirations, our aggressive behavior was not just similar in many ways to that of the chimpanzees - it was even worse. Worse because human beings have the potential to rise above their baser instincts, whereas chimpanzees probably do not.
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

If we start with chimpanzees, they differ from us with the composition of the DNA by only just over one percent. So, as far as genetics go, we're almost identical. The composition of the blood, the immune system, the structure of the brain - almost identical.

If we do not do something to help these creatures, we make a mockery of the whole concept of justice.
