Famous quotes containing the word institution:
“We are now a nation of people in daily contact with strangers. Thanks to mass transportation, school administrators and teachers often live many miles from the neighborhood schoolhouse. They are no longer in daily informal contact with parents, ministers, and other institution leaders . . . [and are] no longer a natural extension of parental authority.”
—James P. Comer (20th century)
“No institution will be better than the institutor.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“The authority of any governing institution must stop at its citizens’ skin.”
—Gloria Steinem (b. 1934)
