You better not mess with chimps. They are much stronger than humans.
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
The hardest part of returning to a truly healthy environment may be changing the current totally unsustainable heavy-meat-eating culture of increasing numbers of people around the world. But we must try. We must make a start, one by one.
Jane Goodall
I believe that we have more capability than any other creature to control our biological inheritance - and we do so most of the time.
Jane Goodall
I never wanted to give up. I thought I might have to. Especially at the beginning when chimpanzees had never seen a white person before.They gave one look at me and ran away! They were scared, but eventually I got their trust.
Jane Goodall
It would be absolutely useless for any of us to work to save wildlife without working to educate the next generation of conservationists.
Jane Goodall
Be assured that our individual actions, collectively, make a huge difference.
Jane Goodall
Empathy is really important.. Only when our clever brain and our human heart work together in harmony can we achieve our full potential.
Jane Goodall
But does that mean that war and violence are inevitable? I would argue not because we have also evolved this amazingly sophisticated intellect, and we are capable of controlling our innate behavior a lot of the time.
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
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.
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
I learnt from Flo how to be mother. Flo was patient, tolerant. She was supportive. She was always there. She was playful. She enjoyed having her babies, as good mothers do.
Jane Goodall
I think anything is better than war. The extent to which one can negotiate with fanatics, I have no idea. I don't know.
Jane Goodall
I thought my life was mapped out. Research, living in the forest, teaching and writing. But in '86 I went to a conference and realised the chimpanzees were disappearing. I had worldwide recognition and a gift of communication. I had to use them.
Jane Goodall
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
Of course we're all programmed genetically to some extent. But the selfish gene thesis doesn't explain everything.
Jane Goodall
It's not a pretty picture, but there are reasons for hope.
Jane Goodall
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
I would never say I was an icon, but so many people have said I am, so I suppose I am. I mean, I can't not be what everyone says I am. But I don't feel like an icon.
Jane Goodall
