Institution Quotations
Marriage is a great institution, but I'm not ready for an institution.
Mae West
Marriage is a wonderful institution, but who wants to live in an institution?
Groucho Marx
No institution can possibly survive if it needs geniuses or supermen to manage it. It must be organized in such a way as to be able to get along under a leadership composed of average human beings.
Peter Drucker
Marriage is a wonderful institution, but who would want to live in an institution?
H. L. Mencken
Marriage is a great institution.
Elizabeth Taylor
I feel very deeply about the need to respect and tolerate people of different social - or sexual orientation. But at the same time, I believe marriage should be preserved as an institution for one man and one woman.
Mitt Romney
Modern medicine is a negation of health. It isn't organized to serve human health, but only itself, as an institution. It makes more people sick than it heals.
Ivan Illich
The only rock I know that stays steady, the only institution I know that works, is the family.
Lee Iacocca
Every society in the history of man has upheld the institution of marriage as a bond between a man and a woman. Why? Because society is based on one thing: that society is based on the future of the society. And that's what? Children. Monogamous relationships.
Rick Santorum
I've always had great respect for Paddington because he is amusingly English and eccentric. He is a great British institution and my generation grew up with the books and then Michael Horden's animations.
Stephen Fry
