Sayings by Jane Goodall
The greatest gift we can give our children is a healthy planet.
I believe that every day is an opportunity to make a positive difference.
I think the best evenings are when we have messages from the animal world.
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?
You cannot get through a single day without having an impact on the world around you. What you do makes a difference, and you have to decide what kind of difference you want to make.
Chimpanzees, more than any other living creature, have helped us to understand that there is no sharp line dividing humans from the rest of the animal kingdom.
What you do makes a difference, and you have to decide what kind of difference you want to make.
I think the most important thing is to realize that we are part of the animal kingdom, and we're not above it.
We have so much to learn from the animals, if we would only listen.
Only if we understand, will we care. Only if we care, will we help. Only if we help, shall all be saved.
We cannot live in a world where we're constantly taking, taking, taking, and not giving anything back.
I don't understand why we have to be so destructive. Why can't we learn to live in harmony with nature?
We are a part of the natural world, and when we destroy it, we destroy ourselves.
The more we learn about the natural world, the more we realize how interconnected everything is.
I've always felt that the human brain is the greatest weapon we have, and also the greatest tool.
We have to find a way to live in harmony with nature, or we will destroy ourselves.
I believe that we can change the world, one individual at a time.
We need to teach our children to respect nature, and to understand that we are all connected.
Every creature has a role to play in the ecosystem, and we need to respect that.
We are at a crossroads, and we have to choose between a path of destruction and a path of hope.
