Famous quotes containing the word organization:

    “The village had institutionalized all human functions in forms of low intensity.... Participation was high and organization was low. This is the formula for stability.”

    “Democracy means the organization of society for the benefit and at the expense of everybody indiscriminately and not for the benefit of a privileged class.”
    —George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)

    “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)
