Great nations need organizing principles, and 'Don't do stupid stuff' is not an organizing principle.

Hillary Clinton

We need to shift from an economic organizing principle for human civilization, to a humanitarian organizing principle. Making money more important than your own children is a pathological way for an individual to run their affairs, and it's a pathological way for a society to run its affairs.

Marianne Williamson

In the television business, I don't think anyone will let you go in and pitch a show unless you use the words 'organizing principle' or 'this is the prism through which we see their lives'.

Jackie Schaffer

I think a way to behave is to think not in terms of representative government, not in terms of voting, not in terms of electoral politics, but thinking in terms of organizing social movements, organizing in the work place, organizing in the neighborhood, organizing collectives that can become strong enough to eventually take over - first to become strong enough to resist what has been done to them by authority, and second, later, to become strong enough to actually take over the institutions.

Howard Zinn

don't think I should be in the business of making big pronouncements about where we are now, but I would say that dissatisfaction is as acute now as it was then. What's different, and what I think we can learn from these people, despite their abundant folly, is that we're not using the future as the organizing principle for our critique.

Christine Jennings

Machines are admirable and tyrannize only with the user's consent. Where, then, is the enemy? Not where the machine gives relief from drudgery but where human judgment abdicates. The smoothest machine-made product of the age is the organization man, for even the best organizing principle tends to corrupt, and the mechanical principle corrupts absolutely.

Jacques Barzun

The degree to which fear now becomes an organizing principle of society is enormous compared to what it was like in the past.

Henry Giroux

We need to shift from an economic to a humanitarian organizing principle for human civilization. And women, en masse, should be saying so.

Marianne Williamson

The market is like the police: of course you need it, but if it becomes the central organizing principle of your culture then you're in deep trouble.

Philip E. Agre

The task of saving the earth's environment must and will become the central organizing principle of the post-Cold War world.

Al Gore

I do not have, nor do I believe I have seen, a vision capacious and convincing enough to propound as an organizing principle for the next phase in the law of our Constitution.

Laurence Tribe

For nearly as long as civilization has existed, patriarchy - enforced through the rights of the firstborn son - has been the organizing principle, with few exceptions.

Hanna Rosin

The Occupy Wall Street protests at last suggest that America's wealth gap is once again becoming an organizing political principle in the country.

Jon Meacham

American [public] schools are failing because they are organized according to a bureaucratic, monopolistic model; their organizing principle is basically the same as that of a socialist economy.

David Boaz

The organizing principle, which according to an eternal law creates the different essential organs of the body, and animates them, is not itself seated in one particular organ.

Johannes P. Muller

[Barack Obama] believes climate change is a bigger threat to our country than these barbaric Islamic terrorists that have as their organizing principle the destruction of Western civilization.

Jeb Bush
