I have seen in the Halls of Congress more idealism more humanness more compassion more profiles of courage than in any other institution that I have ever known.

The '80s made up for all the abuse I took during the '70s. I outlived all my critics. By the time I retired everybody saw me as a venerable institution. Things do change.

With the never-ending stream of new social technologies apps and platforms rolling out every day its easy to get lost in the minutiae of social media. Yet for there to be effective change especially within large top-down hierarchical institutions a company must have an over-arching understanding of the new role it has to play.

He who rejects change is the architect of decay. The only human institution which rejects progress is the cemetery.

In America we no longer have an institutionalized organized way of calling business to task - of taking them to account for what they've done - and this is especially true in the cultural realm.

I do not understand how it is that financial institutions could think that they could take taxpayer money and then turn around and act like it's business as usual. I don't understand how they can't see that the world has changed in a fundamental way that it is not business as usual when you take taxpayer dollars.

Learned Institutions ought to be favorite objects with every free people. They throw that light over the public mind which is the best security against crafty and dangerous encroachments on the public liberty.

What we call wisdom is the result of all the wisdom of past ages. Our best institutions are like young trees growing upon the roots of the old trunks that have crumbled away.

We're all entitled to opinions about how art institutions should behave and entitled to voicing those opinions through whatever means available to us. We're also allowed to change or modify our opinions.

Of course art world ethics are important. But museums are no purer than any other institution or business. Academics aren't necessarily more high-minded than gallerists.

Almost all institutions own a lot more art than they can ever show much of it revealing for its timeliness genius or sheer weirdness.

The 150th anniversary of Penn State will highlight what is important and good about this distinguished institution and the fine people and research that it produces.

Next month I will celebrate my 30th anniversary of marriage with my beautiful bride Vicki. Our marriage has been a blessing. I have gained even more respect for the institution over the past 3 decades and will defend it against attack.

I think that marriage is an amazing institution and should be preserved and you can have great marriages and you must because sharing your life with someone is like the greatest thing. And I loved being able to set a good example for that on television.

The hallmark of our age is the tension between aspirations and sluggish institutions.
