More quotes by Margaret Mead
to the extent that either sex is disadvantaged, the whole culture is poorer, and the sex that, superficially, inherits the earth, inherits only a very partial legacy. The more whole the culture, the more whole each member, each man, each woman, each child will be.
Margaret Mead
And when our baby stirs and struggles to be born it compels humility: what we began is now its own.
Margaret Mead
I have a respect for manners as such, they are a way of dealing with people you don't agree with or like.
Margaret Mead
In our contemporary world, no one can think or work with a single picture of what a family is. No one can fit all human behavior, all thought and feeling, into a single pattern.
Margaret Mead
What is new is not bisexuality, but rather the widening of our awareness and acceptance of human capacities for sexual love.
Margaret Mead
Fathers are biological necessities, but social accidents.
Margaret Mead

Margaret Mead
Always remember that you are absolutely unique. Just like everyone else.
Margaret Mead

Margaret Mead
If we are to give our utmost effort and skill and enthusiasm, we must believe in ourselves, which means believing in our past and in our future, in our parents and in our children, in that particular blend of moral purpose and practical inventiveness which is the American character.
Margaret Mead
The older child who has lost or broken some valuable thing will be found when his parents return, not run away, not willing to confess, but in a deep sleep. The thief whose case is being tried falls asleep.
Margaret Mead
Our humanity rests upon a series of learned behaviors, woven together into patterns that are infinitely fragile and never directly inherited.
Margaret Mead
Be who you really are, do what you want to do, in order to have what you really want.
Margaret Mead
No one will live all his life in the world into which he was born and no one will die in the world in which he worked in his maturity.
Margaret Mead
In this country, some people start being miserable about growing old while they are still young.
Margaret Mead
Injustice experienced in the flesh, in deeply wounded flesh, is the stuff out of which change explodes.
Margaret Mead
An ideal culture is one that makes a place for every human gift
Margaret Mead
The atmosphere is the key symbol of global interdependence.
Margaret Mead
We — mankind — stand at the center of an evolutionary crisis, with a new evolutionary device — our consciousness of the crisis — as our unique contribution.
Margaret Mead
