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?

More quotes by Jane Goodall
I am living in the Africa I have always longed for, always felt stirring in my blood.
Jane Goodall
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
I don't think anybody has the right to a huge family. There's already more people on the planet than our natural resources can even support, and if everybody were to have a high standard of living, we need three or four or five new planets to provide the resources. And this cannot be, so something has to change.
Jane Goodall
Change happens by listening and then starting a dialogue with the people who are doing something you don't believe is right.
Jane Goodall
My hope for the future is that we learn wisdom again.
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
Chimpanzees can be quite political.
Jane Goodall
My favorite animals are dogs.
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
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
As a child, we couldn't afford holidays overseas, so instead I travelled through books. I was inspired by Dr Dolittle and Tarzan.
Jane Goodall
I like some animals more than some people, some people more than some animals.
Jane Goodall
Anyone who tries to improve the lives of animals invariably comes in for criticism from those who believe such efforts are misplaced in a world of suffering humanity.
Jane Goodall
Today it is generally accepted that although the earliest humans probably ate some meat, it was unlikely to have played a major role in their diet. Plants would have been a much more important source of food.
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
The only possible way to get somebody to change is to reach into their hearts.
Jane Goodall
The tree I had in the garden as a child, my beech tree, I used to climb up there and spend hours. I took my homework up there, my books, I went up there if I was sad, and it just felt very good to be up there among the green leaves and the birds and the sky.
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
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
The chimpanzees taught me a lot about nonverbal communication. The big difference between them and us is that they don't have spoken language. Everything else is almost the same: Kissing, embracing, swaggering, shaking the fist.
Jane Goodall
