A constitution defines the mindset of the people and the trend of the state; it also designs the impact, for the discipline of its institutions since as a key to all systems, not the arrangement. – Ehsan SehgalRate it:
A meticulous education educates one's mind, to understand, wrong and right; whereas, it also vitalizes the talent and skill, to integrate and beautify the institutions and system of society. – Ehsan SehgalRate it:
After all is said and done and institutions fail, people still have some ability to care for each other. – Ry CooderRate it:
All censorships exist to prevent any one from challenging current conceptions and existing institutions. All progress is initiated by challenging current conceptions, and executed by supplanting existing institutions. Consequently the first condition of progress is the removal of censorships. – George Bernard ShawRate it:
All national institutions of churches, whether Jewish, Christian or Turkish, appear to me no other than human inventions set up to terrify and enslave mankind, and monopolize power and profit. – Thomas Paine, "Age of Reason"Rate it:
All national institutions of churches, whether Jewish, Christian, or Turkish, appear to me no other than human inventions, set up to terrify and enslave mankind, and monopolize power and profit. – Thomas PaineRate it:
Each organ of the human body works, as its nature, and its soul energizes that. Soul rules the entire body accordingly as the constitution of it; otherwise, the body stays as a statue. Similarly, the State becomes stable with all its institutions, as a systematic and constitutional, which vitalize the entire State; otherwise, it stands as empty of a system that proves itself a failed State. – Ehsan SehgalRate it:
Freedom of thought and freedom of speech in our great institutions are absolutely necessary for the preservation of our country. The moment either is restricted, liberty begins to wither and die... – John Peter AltgeldRate it:
Hierarchical institutions are like giant bulldozers-- obedient to the whim of any fool who takes the controls. – Edward AbbeyRate it:
I'm completely in favor of the separation of Church and State. My idea is that these two institutions screw us up enough on their own, so both of them together is certain death. – George CarlinRate it:
If the Federal Government will confine itself to the exercise of powers clearly granted by the Constitution , it can hardly happen that its action upon any question should endanger the institutions of the States or interfere with their right to manage matters strictly domestic according to the will of their own people. – Franklin PierceRate it:
If the misery of our poor be caused not by the laws of nature, but by our institutions, great is our sin. – Charles Darwin, Voyage of the BeagleRate it:
Most private schools across India have not paid salaries to their teachers in the last few months in spite of fact that these were giving peanuts remuneration to their teaching faculty and charging exorbitant fees from the students before lockdown. What punitive action has been taken against such inhumane management and erring institutions ? – EducationBusinessRate it:
My kind of loyalty was to one's country, not to its institutions or its officeholders. The country is the real thing, the substantial thing, the eternal thing; it is the thing to watch over, and care for, and be loyal to; institutions are extraneous, they are its mere clothing, and clothing can wear out, become ragged, cease to be comfortable, cease to protect the body from winter, disease, and death. – Mark TwainRate it:
The most effective way to revive a functional democracy is to do what we have always done; transfer decision-making from the unaccountable institutions: monarchs, priestly castes, military juntas, political or economic dictatorships, or modern corporations, and bring it back to the public arena. – Aaron NordquistRate it:
We are at that very point in time when a 400-year-old age is dying and another is struggling to be born - a shifting of culture, science, society and institutions enormously greater than the world has ever experienced. Ahead, the possibility of regeneration of individuality, liberty, community and ethics such as the world has never known, and a harmony with nature, with one another and with the divine intelligence such as the world has always dreamed. – Dee W. HockRate it:
Wise and prudent men -- intelligent conservatives -- have long known that in a changing world worthy institutions can be conserved only by adjusting them to the changing times. – Franklin Delano RooseveltRate it:
Society has an inherent right to constantly question justice and to compel adherence to founding institutions; when justice conflicts with traditional institutional values, the populace must rebel. – RJ Intindola – (Gandolfo)Rate it:
Laws and institutions must go hand in hand with the progress of the human mind. – Francis BaconRate it:
If the president attacks you personally, your wife, your father, how you respond is your business. But when the president attacks our institutions, this country allows a foreign power to invade our democracy, that is our business. – Beto O'RourkeRate it:
Personally, I'm in favor of democracy, which means that the central institutions of society have to be under popular control. Now, under capitalism, we can't have democracy by definition. Capitalism is a system in which the central institutions of society are in principle under autocratic control. Thus, a corporation or an industry is, if we were to think of it in political terms, fascist that is, it has tight control at the top and strict obedience has to be establishedat every level--there's little bargaining, a little give and take,but the line of authority is perfectly straightforward. Just as I'm opposed to political fascism, I'm opposed to economic fascism. I think that until the major institutions of society are under the popular control of participants and communities, it's pointless to talk about democracy. – Noam ChomskyRate it:
The leaders I met, whatever walk of life they were from, whatever institutions they were presiding over, always referred back to the same failure something that happened to them that was personally difficult, even traumatic, something that made them feel that desperate sense of hitting bottom--as something they thought was almost a necessity. It's as if at that moment the iron entered their soul that moment created the resilience that leaders need. – Warren BennisRate it:
America's founding fathers did not intend to take religion out of education. Many of the nation's greatest universities were founded by evangelists and religious leaders; but many of these have lost the founders concept and become secular institutions. Because of this attitude, secular education is stumbling and floundering. – Billy GrahamRate it:
Most institutions demand unqualified faith; but the institution of science makes skepticism a virtue. – Robert K. MertonRate it:
