Jane Goodall Quote: “Having respect for animals makes us better humans...”

Jane Goodall Quote: “The greatest danger to our future is apathy.”

Jane Goodall Quote: “It’s up to us to save the world for tomorrow: it’s up to you and me.”

Jane Goodall Quote: “Every individual matters. Every individual has a role to play. Every individual makes a difference.”

Jane Goodall Quote: “Just remember – if you are really and truly determined to work with animals, somehow, either now or later, you will find a way to do it. But you have to want it desperately, work hard, take advantage of an opportunity – and never give up.”

Jane Goodall Quote: “Young people, when informed and empowered, when they realize that what they do truly makes a difference, can indeed change the world.”

Jane Goodall Quote: “Someday we shall look back on this dark era of agriculture and shake our heads. How could we have ever believed that it was a good idea to grow our food with poisons?”

Jane Goodall Quote: “Here we are, the most clever species ever to have lived. So how is it we can destroy the only planet we have?”

Jane Goodall Quote: “To me, cruelty is the worst of human sins. Once we accept that a living creature has feelings and suffers pain, then by knowingly and deliberately inflicting suffering on that creature, we are guilty, whether it be human or animal.”

Jane Goodall Quote: “My hope for the future is that we learn wisdom again.”

Jane Goodall Quote: “I don’t care two hoots about civilization. I want to wander in the wild.”

Jane Goodall Quote: “The least I can do is speak out for those who cannot speak for themselves.”

Jane Goodall Quote: “Change happens by listening and then starting a dialogue with the people who are doing something you don’t believe is right.”

Jane Goodall Quote: “We are beginning to learn that each animal has a life and a place and a role in this world. If we place compassion and care in the middle of all our dealings with the animal world and honor and respect their lives, our attitudes will change.”

Jane Goodall Quote: “Each one of us matters, has a role to play, and makes a difference. Each one of us must take responsibility for our own lives, and above all, show respect and love for living things around us, especially each other.”

Jane Goodall Quote: “Your life matters. You can’t live through a day without making an impact on the world. And what’s most important is to think about the impact of your actions on the world around you.”

Jane Goodall Quote: “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 Quote: “My mission is to create a world where we can live in harmony with nature.”

Jane Goodall Quote: “The most important thing is to actually think about what you do. To become aware and actually think about the effect of what you do on the environment and on society. That’s key, and that underlies everything else.”

Jane Goodall Quote: “We could change the world tomorrow if all the millions of people around the world acted the way they believe.”

Jane Goodall Quote: “I think the most important thing is to keep active and to hope that your mind stays active.”

Jane Goodall Quote: “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 Quote: “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 Quote: “I was the sort of person who didn’t care about hairdressing and clothes and parties and boyfriends. I really wanted to be in the wild.”

Jane Goodall Quote: “Be assured that our individual actions, collectively, make a huge difference.”

Jane Goodall Quote: “Lasting change is a series of compromises. And compromise is all right, as long your values don’t change.”

Jane Goodall Quote: “I think I’d like to be remembered as someone who really helped people to have a little humility and realize that we are part of the animal kingdom not separated from it.”

Jane Goodall Quote: “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 Quote: “To me, trees are living beings and they have their own sort of personalities.”

Jane Goodall Quote: “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 Quote: “It’s not a pretty picture, but there are reasons for hope.”

Jane Goodall Quote: “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 Quote: “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 Quote: “You cannot share your life with a dog, as I had done in Bournemouth, or a cat, and not know perfectly well that animals have personalities and minds and feelings.”

Jane Goodall Quote: “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 Quote: “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 Quote: “I wouldn’t even like to begin to define God – I have absolutely no idea. But what I feel, and what touches me, is a great spiritual power, which I don’t even want to name. If I had to, I would say God, because I don’t know any other.”

Jane Goodall Quote: “The cheapest and most efficient way of slowing down global warming is to protect and restore the forests, particularly the tropical forests.”

Jane Goodall Quote: “If we could just stop building up armies and things like that, we would have all the money we need for wildlife and poverty.”

Jane Goodall Quote: “We have so far to go to realize our human potential for compassion, altruism, and love.”

Jane Goodall Quote: “People don’t believe that their actions really and truly are going to make a difference. But kids get it. They know. And they get all excited about the difference they’re making.”

Jane Goodall Quote: “There isn’t a sharp line dividing humans from the rest of the animal kingdom. All the time, we find animals doing things that, in our arrogance, we thought were just human.”

Jane Goodall Quote: “When you meet chimps you meet individual personalities. When a baby chimp looks at you it’s just like a human baby. We have a responsibility to them.”

Jane Goodall Quote: “I have found that to love and be loved is the most empowering and exhilarating of all human emotions.”

Jane Goodall Quote: “I believe the only hope for mankind lies in the hands of our young people.”

Jane Goodall Quote: “But let us not forget that human love and compassion are equally deeply rooted in our primate heritage, and in this sphere too our sensibilities are of a higher order of magnitude than those of chimpanzees.”

Jane Goodall Quote: “We find animals doing things that we, in our arrogance, used to think was “just human”.”

Jane Goodall Quote: “People say to me so often, ‘Jane how can you be so peaceful when everywhere around you people want books signed, people are asking these questions and yet you seem peaceful,’ and I always answer that it is the peace of the forest that I carry inside.”

Jane Goodall Quote: “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 Quote: “Chimps taught us we’re not separated from the animal kingdom, we’re a part of it.”

Jane Goodall Quote: “And always I have this feeling – which may not be true at all – that I am being used as a messenger.”

Jane Goodall Quote: “We are unique. Chimpanzees are unique. Dogs are unique. But we humans are just not as different as we used to think.”

Jane Goodall Quote: “Well, in some ways we’re not successful at all. We’re destroying our home. That’s not a bit successful.”

Jane Goodall Quote: “Especially now when views are becoming more polarized, we must work to understand each other across political, religious and national boundaries.”

Jane Goodall Quote: “The only possible way to get somebody to change is to reach into their hearts.”

Jane Goodall Quote: “Researchers find it very necessary to keep blinkers on. They don’t want to admit that the animals they are working with have feelings.”

Jane Goodall Quote: “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 Quote: “It’s the bond between mother and child, which is really, for us and for chimps and other primates, the root of all the expressions of social behavior.”

Jane Goodall Quote: “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 Quote: “Words can be said in bitterness and anger, and often there seems to be an element of truth in the nastiness. And words don’t go away, they just echo around.”

Jane Goodall Quote: “Terrorism is usually fueled by poverty, and the fanatical faith of the terrorists who truly believe that the more people they kill who do not subscribe to their faith, the greater their reward in heaven.”

Jane Goodall Quote: “I like some animals more than some people, some people more than some animals.”

Jane Goodall Quote: “It was because the chimps are so eye-catching, so like us and teach us so much that my work was recognised worldwide.”

Jane Goodall Quote: “I wanted to talk to the animals like Dr. Dolittle.”

Jane Goodall Quote: “I am living in the Africa I have always longed for, always felt stirring in my blood.”

Jane Goodall Quote: “Even chimps understand the concept – if a troop of chimps enters a fruit tree, they will only pick the fruits that are ripe and leave the others growing. That is sustainability.”

Jane Goodall Quote: “You may not believe in evolution, and that is all right. How we humans came to be the way we are is far less important than how we should act now to get out of the mess we have made for ourselves.”

Jane Goodall Quote: “One thing I had learned from watching chimpanzees with their infants is that having a child should be fun.”

Jane Goodall Quote: “I think the best evenings are when we have messages, things that make us think, but we can also laugh and enjoy each other’s company.”

Jane Goodall Quote: “I believe that accurate knowledge is very, very important, but find that out in free time. Don’t let it take over every hour of the day. Perhaps most important, talk about it.”

Jane Goodall Quote: “I shouldn’t have named the chimps. It wasn’t scientific. I didn’t know. I knew nothing. And worse sin of all was that I was ascribing to them emotions like happiness, sadness and so forth.”

Jane Goodall Quote: “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 Quote: “Animals were my passion from even before I could speak apparently. When I was about 10, 11 I fell in love with Tarzan.”

Jane Goodall Quote: “Women tend to be more intuitive, or to admit to being intuitive, and maybe the hard science approach isn’t so attractive. The way that science is taught is very cold. I would never have become a scientist if I had been taught like that.”

Jane Goodall Quote: “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 Quote: “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 Quote: “That’s what keeps me going. Everywhere I go there are young people with shining eyes wanting to tell me, “Dr. Jane, we’re going to make the world a better place.””

Jane Goodall Quote: “I don’t think that faith, whatever you’re being faithful about, really can be scientifically explained. And I don’t want to explain this whole life business through truth, science. There’s so much mystery. There’s so much awe.”

Jane Goodall Quote: “Chimpanzees have given me so much. The long hours spent with them in the forest have enriched my life beyond measure. What I have learned from them has shaped my understanding of human behavior, of our place in nature.”

Jane Goodall Quote: “Some people say, therefore, that violence and war are inevitable. I say rubbish: Our brains are fully capable of controlling instinctive behavior.”

Jane Goodall Quote: “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 Quote: “There are many animal-welfare groups that sometimes seem to forget that human beings are animals too, that we need to include them in our sphere of compassion.”

Jane Goodall Quote: “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.”
