More quotes by Margaret Mead

Margaret Mead
EARTH DAY reminds the people of the world of the need for continuing care which is vital to Earth's safety.
Margaret Mead
I don't consider my marriages as failures! It's idiotic to assume that because a marriage ends, it's failed.

Margaret Mead
Never believe that a few caring people can't change the world. For, indeed, that's all who ever have.
Margaret Mead

Margaret Mead
Envy of the male role can come as much from an undervaluation of the role of wife and mother as from an overvaluation of the public aspects of achievement that have been reserved for men.
Margaret Mead

Margaret Mead
There is no more creative force in the world than the menopausal woman with zest.
Margaret Mead
Jealousy is not a barometer by which the depth of love can be read. It merely records the degree of the lover's insecurity.
Margaret Mead
Contentment can be bought at a price that one can not possibly pay.
Margaret Mead
For the human species to evolve, the conversation must deepen.
Margaret Mead
From a hundred cultures, [there is] one culture which does what no culture has ever done before-gives a place to every human gift.
Margaret Mead
It is easier to change a man's religion than to change his diet.
Margaret Mead
We may say that many, if not all, of the personality traits which we have called masculine or feminine are as lightly linked to sex as are the clothing, the manners, and the form of headdress that a society at a given period assigns to either sex.
Margaret Mead
A society which is clamouring for choice, which is filled with many articulate groups, each urging its own brand of salvation, its own variety of economic philosophy, will give each new generation no peace until all have chosen or gone under, unable to bear the conditions of choice.
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
