I think the most important thing to do is to be willing to listen, willing to care, and willing to admit mistakes and change your ways for the better!

Above all we must realize that each of us makes a difference with our life. Each of us impacts the world around us every single day. We have a choice to use the gift of our life to make the world a better place - or not to bother

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

War had always seemed to me to be a purely human behavior. Accounts of warlike behavior date back to the very first written records of human history; it seemed to be an almost universal characteristic of human groups.

Chimps taught us we're not separated from the animal kingdom, we're a part of it.

When I began in 1960, individuality wasn't an accepted thing to look for; it was about species-specific behaviour. But animal behaviour is not hard science. There's room for intuition.

My mission is to create a world where we can live in harmony with nature.
