Famous quotes containing the word institution:
“What has ever threatened our liberty and prosperity save and except this institution of Slavery?”
—Abraham Lincoln (1809–1865)
“An institution is the lengthened shadow of one man.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“The post-office appeared a singularly domestic institution here. Ever and anon the stage stopped before some low shop or dwelling, and a wheelwright or shoemaker appeared in his shirt- sleeves and leather apron, with spectacles newly donned, holding up Uncle Sam’s bag, as if it were a slice of home-made cake, for the travelers, while he retailed some piece of gossip to the driver, really as indifferent to the presence of the former as if they were so much baggage.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
