Famous quotes containing the word organization:

    “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)

    “When a man’s partner’s killed, he’s supposed to do something about it. It doesn’t make any difference what you thought of him, he was your partner and you’re supposed to do something about it. As it happens, we’re in the detective business; well, when one of your organization gets killed, it’s, it’s bad business to let the killer get away with it. Bad all around. Bad for every detective everywhere.”
    —John Huston (1906–1987)

    “Democracy is the wholesome and pure air without which a socialist public organization cannot live a full-blooded life.”
    —Mikhail Gorbachev (b. 1931)
