Happy 80th Birthday, Jane Goodall! Thank you for your good work in the world.
A few of my favorite quotes from Ms. Goodall:
“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.”
“My family has very strong women. My mother never laughed at my dream of Africa, even though everyone else did because we didn’t have any money, because Africa was the ‘dark continent’, and because I was a girl.”
“What you do makes a difference, and you have to decide what kind of difference you want to make.”
