Famous quotes containing the word organization:

—Mother Jones (1830–1930)
“... every woman’s organization recognizes that reformers are far more common than feminists, that the passion to look after your fellow man, and especially woman, to do good to her in your way is far more common than the desire to put into every one’s hand the power to look after themselves.”

“In any great organization it is far, far safer to be wrong with the majority than to be right alone.”
