More quotes by Margaret Mead
The young, free to act on their initiative, can lead their elders in the direction of the unknown... The children, the young, must ask the questions that we would never think to ask, but enough trust must be re-established so that the elders will be permitted to work with them on the answers.
Margaret Mead
Every time we liberate a woman, we liberate a man.
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
The important thing about women today is, as they get older, they still keep house. It's one reason why they don't die, but men die when they retire. Women just polish the teacups.
Margaret Mead
All social change comes from the passion of individuals.
Margaret Mead
[Partly as a consequence of male authority] prestige value always attaches to the activities of men.
Margaret Mead
There is no greater power in the world than the zest of a postmenopausal woman.
Margaret Mead
Human nature is potentially aggressive and destructive and potentially orderly and constructive.
Margaret Mead
today's children are the first generation to grow up in a world that has the power to destroy itself.
Margaret Mead
Be who you really are, do what you want to do, in order to have what you really want.
Margaret Mead
We are living beyond our means. As a people we have developed a life-style that is draining the earth of its priceless and irreplaceable resources without regard for the future of our children and people all around the world.
Margaret Mead
Interest and proficiency in almost any one activity-swimming, boating, fishing, skiing, skating-breed interest in many more. Once someone discovers the delight of mastering one skill, however slightly, he is likely to try out not just one more, but a whole ensemble.
Margaret Mead
If sports are the toy department of life, then the NFL is the FAO Schwartz of sports.
Margaret Mead
Always remember that you are absolutely unique. Just like everyone else.
Margaret Mead
The contempt for law and the contempt for the human consequences of lawbreaking go from the bottom to the top of American society.
Margaret Mead
Earth Day is the first holy day...and is devoted to the harmony of nature... The celebration offends no historical calendar, yet it transcends them all.
Margaret Mead
It is not until science has become a discipline to which the research ability of any mind from any class in society can be attracted that it can become rigorously scientific.
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
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
Man's role is uncertain, undefined, and perhaps unnecessary.
Margaret Mead
