The person who has the most influence on me is my mother. Think of life as a flight where we fly higher and higher. If I were a bird that needs feathers to fly higher, I would regard my mother as my strongest feather.

More quotes by Jane Goodall
We have so far to go to realize our human potential for compassion, altruism, and love.
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
If we allow the destruction of the environment, we can see the terrorists have utterly won, and are destroying the future of our children and grandchildren. We must not let that happen.
Jane Goodall
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
We have the choice to use the gift of our life to make the world a better place--or not to bother
Jane Goodall
It's up to us to save the world for tomorrow: it's up to you and me.
Jane Goodall
The only possible way to get somebody to change is to reach into their hearts.
Jane Goodall
Having respect for animals makes us better humans.
Jane Goodall
If harsher laws are put in place, less will dare to break them.
Jane Goodall
It was both fascinating and appalling to learn that chimpanzees were capable of hostile and territorial behavior that was not unlike certain forms of primitive human warfare.
Jane Goodall
Chimps are brutal, and it is so deliberate. The males go out and get near the boundary of their territory. And they walk very silently trying hard not to make any noise. They will climb into a tree and stare out over hostile territory for hours. They are waiting for the right opportunity. And then they attack.
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
If you really want something, and really work hard, and take advantage of opportunities, and never give up, you will find a way.. Follow your Dreams.
Jane Goodall
You're thinking about putting scientists into small cages and doing research on them. I wish it could happen sometimes.
Jane Goodall
I believe that the tragedy [like terror attack] that's caused so much grief and suffering to so many thousands and thousands of people has also served as a call to action, because many people now are re-examining their own value systems, and the churches, temples, mosques and cathedrals are packed to overflowing for the first time in years.
Jane Goodall
Let us develop respect for all living things. Let us try to replace violence and intolerance with understanding and compassion. And love.
Jane Goodall
As human beings, we can encompass a vague feeling of what the universe is, and all in this funny little brain here - so there has to be something more than just brain, it has to be something to do with spirit as well.
Jane Goodall
Even when it comes to things like wars over oil, which may seem like a whole different ball game, there are still comparisons one can draw: chimps fight for their territory they fight for the resources within that territory, so it does relate in a way.
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
Every stage of my life set the scene for the next, and at each point all I had to do was say yes and not think too much about the consequences.
Jane Goodall
