Famous quotes containing the word organization:

    “One of the many reasons for the bewildering and tragic character of human existence is the fact that social organization is at once necessary and fatal. Men are forever creating such organizations for their own convenience and forever finding themselves the victims of their home-made monsters.”
    —Aldous Huxley (1894–1963)

    “It is essential that there should be organization of labor. This is an era of organization. Capital organizes and therefore labor must organize.”
    —Theodore Roosevelt (1858–1919)

    “I would wish that the women of our country could embrace ... [the responsibilities] of citizenship as peculiarly their own. If they could apply their higher sense of service and responsibility, their freshness of enthusiasm, their capacity for organization to this problem, it would become, as it should become, an issue of profound patriotism. The whole plane of political life would be lifted.”
    —Herbert Hoover (1874–1964)
