Famous quotes containing the word organization:

    “Since wars begin in the minds of men, it is in the minds of men that the defences of peace must be constructed.”
    —Constitution of the United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization (UNESCO)

    “The art of government is the organization of idolatry. The bureaucracy consists of functionaries; the aristocracy, of idols; the democracy, of idolaters. The populace cannot understand the bureaucracy: it can only worship the national idols.”
    —George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)

    “The Red Cross in its nature, it aims and purposes, and consequently, its methods, is unlike any other organization in the country. It is an organization of physical action, of instantaneous action, at the spur of the moment; it cannot await the ordinary deliberation of organized bodies if it would be of use to suffering humanity, ... [ellipsis in original] it has by its nature a field of its own.”
    —Clara Barton (1821–1912)
