The marriage of a man and woman is the most enduring human institution honored in all cultures and by every religious faith. It's in this institution that children are meant to be nurtured. We know this after thousands of years of human experience.

You can almost see voters nodding their heads at home: The public's faith in politicians and political institutions has been on a steep and dangerous decline for decades because elected leaders fail to deliver.

Workers have kept faith in American institutions. Most of the conflicts which have occurred have been when labor's right to live has been challenged and denied.

The greatest failure is that although we have created institutions we have not created a civil society.

Any place that anyone can learn something useful from someone with experience is an educational institution.

Equality means nothing unless incorporated into the institutions.

Distinctions between citizens solely because of their ancestry are by their very nature odious to a free people whose institutions are founded upon the doctrine of equality.

Family law is institutionally anti-male. I've been lobbying MPs and I'm not going to give up campaigning for equality until I get equality.

Republican patience with how unionism deals with the political institutions and with key issues like equality and human rights will be tested because obviously there will be a battle a day on these matters. So lets face up to all of this with our eyes wide open.
