Famous quotes containing the word organization:

    “I would wish that the women of our country could embrace ... [the responsibilities] of citizenship as peculiarly their own. If they could apply their higher sense of service and responsibility, their freshness of enthusiasm, their capacity for organization to this problem, it would become, as it should become, an issue of profound patriotism. The whole plane of political life would be lifted.”
    —Herbert Hoover (1874–1964)

    “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.”
    —Marshall McLuhan (1911–1980)

    “Your organization is not a praying institution. It’s a fighting institution. It’s an educational institution right along industrial lines. Pray for the dead and fight like hell for the living!”
    —Mother Jones (1830–1930)
