Jane Goodall Quotes

My mother always taught us that if people don’t agree with you, the important thing is to listen to them. But if you’ve listened to them carefully and you still think that you’re right, then you must have the courage of your convictions Picture Quote #1

It’s not Africa that is destroying the African rainforest, it’s selling concessions to timber companies that are not African, they are from the developed world - Japan, America, Germany, Britain Picture Quote #1

Every individual can make a difference every day by making conscious choices Picture Quote #1

I miss the early days; I do. I was so lucky. I basically had it to myself, learning about these chimpanzees. Nobody knew anything about them. Discovering their different personalities, different life histories. I was lucky Picture Quote #1

You’re thinking about putting scientists into small cages and doing research on them. I wish it could happen sometimes Picture Quote #1

Lasting change is a series of compromises. And compromise is all right, as long your values don’t change Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

Of course we’re all programmed genetically to some extent. But the selfish gene thesis doesn’t explain everything Picture Quote #1

Mainly because as women’s education increases all around the planet, we find that family size tends to drop Picture Quote #1

Whatever we believe about how we got to be the extraordinary creatures we are today is far less important than bringing our intellect to bear on how do we get together now around the world and get out of the mess that we’ve made. That’s the key thing now. Never mind how we got to be who we are Picture Quote #1

Farm animals feel pleasure and sadness, excitement and resentment, depression, fear, and pain. They are far more aware and intelligent than we ever imagined...they are individuals in their own right Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

The refugees flee to protect their families from violence; the Europeans, on the other hand, fear for their jobs that they need to feed their families Picture Quote #1

I’ve always felt you don’t have to be completely detached, emotionally uninvolved to make precise observations. There’s nothing wrong with feeling great empathy for your subjects Picture Quote #1

The problem of the chimps is that they can only sit and look. They can’t discuss what they feel. All that feeling is trapped within each one Picture Quote #1

Chimps are very quick to have a sudden fight or aggressive episode, but they’re equally as good at reconciliation Picture Quote #1

We, as humans, have actually developed a sense of social responsibility. We have gone beyond our basic instincts. We can and we do. This is what sets us apart from the chimps. They are extremely brutal and hostile. Your next door neighbor is to be killed unless she is a juicy young female, who hasn’t yet had her first baby, in which case you want her Picture Quote #1

I did this book ‘Harvest for Hope,’ and I learned so much about food. And one thing I learned is that we have the guts not of a carnivore, but of an herbivore. Herbivore guts are very long because they have to get the last bit of nutrition out of leaves and things Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

If you consciously say ‘I won’t do it!’ to yourself, then you have a good chance that you won’t Picture Quote #1

I think my message to the politicians who have within their power the ability to make change is, ‘Do you really, really not care about the future of your great-grandchildren? Because if we let the world continue to be destroyed the way we are now, what’s the world going to be like for your great-grandchildren?’ Picture Quote #1

I love to write - it is a great source of reflection, especially as I continue to meet many new inspiring people Picture Quote #1

Some people actually do not like animals - hard for me to understand, but true Picture Quote #1

It’s easy to become hopeless. So people must have hope: the human brain, the resilience of nature, the energy of young people and the sort of inspiration that you see from so many hundreds of people who tackle tasks that are impossible and never give up and succeed Picture Quote #1

I wanted to talk to the animals like Dr. Doolittle Picture Quote #1

I had a wonderful teacher about animal behavior Picture Quote #1

My hope for the future is that we learn wisdom again Picture Quote #1
