More quotes by Margaret Mead
Living in the modern world, clothed and muffled, forced to convey our sense of our bodies in terms of remote symbols like walking sticks and umbrellas and handbags, it is easy to lose sight of the immediacy of the human body plan.
Margaret Mead
I must admit that I personally measure success in terms of the contributions an individual makes to her or his fellow human beings.
Margaret Mead
And as I had my father's kind of mind-which was also his mother's-I learned that the mind is not sex-typed.
Margaret Mead
Even though the ship may go down, the journey goes on.
Margaret Mead
WE MUST DEVISE A SYSTEM IN WHICH PEACE IS MORE REWARDING THAN WAR.
Margaret Mead
For the human species to evolve, the conversation must deepen.
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
The first step in the direction of a world rule of law is the recognition that peace no longer is an unobtainable ideal but a necessary condition of continued human existence. But to take even this step we must return to a calm and responsible frame of mind in which we can face the long patient tasks ahead.
Margaret Mead
An education not founded on Art will never succeed.
Margaret Mead
War is only an invention, not a biological necessity.
Margaret Mead
There is no greater power in the world than the zest of a postmenopausal woman.
Margaret Mead
The way to do fieldwork is never to come up for air until it is all over.
Margaret Mead
Be who you really are, do what you want to do, in order to have what you really want.
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
Blackberry winter, the time when the hoarforst lies on the blackberry blossoms without this frost the berries will not set. It is the forerunner of a rich harvest.
Margaret Mead
In each age there is a series of pressing questions which must be asked and answered. On the correctness of the questions depends the survival of those who ask on the quality of the answers depends the quality of the life those survivors will lead.
Margaret Mead
the task of each family is also the task of all humanity. This is to cherish the living, remember those who have gone before, and prepare for those who are not yet born.
Margaret Mead
I learned the value of hard work by working hard.
Margaret Mead
I discovered when I had a child of my own that I had become a biased observer of small children. Instead of looking at them with affectionate but nonpartisan eyes, I saw each of them as older or younger, bigger or smaller, more or less graceful, intelligent, or skilled than my own child.
Margaret Mead
Human beings do not carry civilization in their genes. All that we do carry in our genes are certain capacities- the capacity to learn to walk upright, to use our brains, to speak, to relate to our fellow men, to construct and use tools, to explore the universe, and to express that exploration in religion, in art, in science, in philosophy.
Margaret Mead
