Well I've ruffled a few feathers at all the institutions I've led. But I think that's part of leadership.

Many citizens see all the leadership of these large institutions together in a conspiracy against them rather than in any adversary relationship with each other.

The whole history of civilization is strewn with creeds and institutions which were invaluable at first and deadly afterwards.

The only justification for repressive institutions is material and cultural deficit. But such institutions at certain stages of history perpetuate and produce such a deficit and even threaten human survival.

I brought together experts from health care business academic institutions and the community to develop a comprehensive blueprint for eliminating racial and ethnic disparities in health care in the City of Boston.

We must seek to persuade member states and institutions that better regulation in Europe does not mean cutting health and safety in the workplace nor does it mean dismantling social standards.

Challenges of historic import threaten America's future. Action on the deficit economy energy health care and much more is imperative yet our legislative institutions fail to act. Congress must be reformed.

Individuality is the aim of political liberty. By leaving the citizen as much freedom of action and of being as comports with order and the rights of others the institutions render him truly a freeman. He is left to pursue his means of happiness in his own manner.

Let us develop the resources of our land call forth its powers build up its institutions promote all its great interests and see whether we also in our day and generation may not perform something worthy to be remembered.
