More quotes by Jane Goodall

Jane Goodall
I am obstinate and I will not give in.
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
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
Some people actually do not like animals - hard for me to understand, but true.
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
If only we can overcome cruelty, to human and animal, with love and compassion we shall stand at the threshold of a new era in human moral and spiritual evolution - and realize, at last, our most unique quality: humanity.
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
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
We have language and they do not. Chimps communicate by embracing, patting, looking - all these things. And they have lots of sounds. But they cannot sit and discuss. They cannot teach about things that are not present, as far as we know.
Jane Goodall
Maternal behavior helps when you have to be patient with nonverbal creatures.
Jane Goodall
I believe sharing stories and experiences is the best way to teach people to empathize!
Jane Goodall
It's up to us to save the world for tomorrow: it's up to you and me.
Jane Goodall
However much you know giraffes, to see one in the wild for the first time feels prehistoric.
Jane Goodall
To reconnect with nature is key if we want to save the planet.
Jane Goodall
My favorite animals are dogs.
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.
