Jane Goodall

The greatest gift we can give to future generations is a healthy planet.

We have to realize that we are all interconnected, and that our actions have consequences.

I believe that we can make a difference, if we just try.

Every choice we make has an impact on the world, and we should choose wisely.

We need to inspire hope in young people, and empower them to create a better future.

The natural world is a source of wonder and inspiration, and we need to protect it.

I believe that every living creature has a soul, and that we should treat them with respect.

We need to foster a sense of empathy and compassion in our children, and teach them to care about others.

The natural world is our greatest teacher, and we should listen to its lessons.

We have to be the guardians of the planet, and protect it for generations to come.

We have a choice to use the gift of our life to make a difference. It's up to us to decide what kind of difference we're going to make.

The more we learn about the true nature of non-human animals, especially those with complex brains and complex social behavior, the more ethical concerns are raised regarding their use in the service of man—whether this be in entertainment, as 'pets,' for food, in research laboratories, or any of the other uses to which we subject them.

I think the most important thing is to keep active and to hope that your mind stays active.

We have so far to go to realize our human potential for compassion, altruism, and love.

The only way to make sure that we don't destroy the future is to make sure that our children are educated in a way that they understand the interconnectedness of all life.

We are, indeed, often cruel and evil. Nobody can deny this. We gang up on one another, we torture each other, we use our intellect to manipulate, we kill.

The more we learn of the true nature of non-human animals, especially those with complex brains and corresponding complex social behavior, the more ethical concerns are raised regarding their use in the service of man.

Chimpanzees have taught me that the difference between us and them is not as big as we once thought.

We have a responsibility to care for our planet and every creature on it.

I think the most important thing is to have hope.
