More quotes by Jane Goodall
Well, in some ways we're not successful at all. We're destroying our home. That's not a bit successful.
Jane Goodall
Some people say, therefore, that violence and war are inevitable. I say rubbish: Our brains are fully capable of controlling instinctive behavior.
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
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
A chimp would never plan to pull another's nails out.
Jane Goodall
Only if we understand, can we care. Only if we care, we will help. Only if we help, we shall be saved.
Jane Goodall
To me, trees are living beings and they have their own sort of personalities.
Jane Goodall
Above all we must realize that each of us makes a difference with our life. Each of us impacts the world around us every single day. We have a choice to use the gift of our life to make the world a better place - or not to bother
Jane Goodall
There are many people out there (me being one of them) who can vouch that animals have feelings they feel compassion and love, as well as pain!
Jane Goodall
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.
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.
Jane Goodall
Of course we're all programmed genetically to some extent. But the selfish gene thesis doesn't explain everything.
Jane Goodall
Language allows us to talk about the past and plan the future. We can teach children about things that are not present. And above all, we can bring people with different backgrounds and different knowledge together to discuss our problems. This actually gives me hope. I still think we are smart enough to not destroy planet Earth, our only home.
Jane Goodall
Without the heart to ground it and open it to who we really can be as human beings, the brain is a very dangerous machine. A machine that is saying: we've got to have economic growth we've got to have unending economic growth, otherwise societies will collapse. And yet there should be something saying: wait a minute, this isn't going to work.
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
From my perspective, I absolutely believe in a greater spiritual power, far greater than I am, from which I have derived strength in moments of sadness or fear. That's what I believe, and it was very, very strong in the forest.
Jane Goodall
We have so far to go to realize our human potential for compassion, altruism, and love.
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
Children can change the world.
Jane Goodall
Chimpanzees can be quite political.
