Famous quotes containing the word organization:

    “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)

    “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)

    “In any great organization it is far, far safer to be wrong with the majority than to be right alone.”
    —John Kenneth Galbraith (b. 1908)
