Margaret Mead

I learned to observe, to listen, to feel, to think, to question, to doubt, to believe.

The only way to keep a secret is to tell it to no one.

If we are to achieve a richer culture, rich in contrasting values, we must understand the other cultures.

The future of the world depends on the education of its women.

We are all born with a need to belong, a need to be loved, a need to be valued.

The greatest danger to our future is apathy.

The human race is a single species, and we are all interconnected.

One of the oldest human needs is to have someone wonder where you are when you don't come home at night.

The problem with the world is that everyone is trying to change it, but no one is trying to understand it.

The only way to make sense out of change is to plunge into it, move with it, and join the dance.

We must teach our children to dream with their eyes open.

The world is a dangerous place, not because of those who do evil, but because of those who look on and do nothing.

The future is not a gift. It is an achievement.

We are all part of a larger whole, and we must work together to create a better world.

The human species is the only one that can consciously choose its own evolution.

The greatest strength of the human species is its ability to adapt.

We must create a world in which all children have the opportunity to reach their full potential.

The only way to understand a culture is to live in it.

The most important thing in life is to learn how to give out love, and to let it come in.

We are all responsible for the future of our planet.
