I refused to teach Sunday school. When Archdeacon Henry Phillips, my last rector, died, I flatly refused again to join any church or sign any church creed.

It is not scholarship alone, but scholarship impregnated with religion, that tells on the great mass of society.

In the government schools, which are referred to as public schools, Indian policy has been instituted there, and its a policy where they do not encourage, in fact, discourage, critical thinking and the creation of ideas and public education. — Russell Means

We die in institutions called hospitals or nursing homes. From birth to the grave, mankind is an institutional creature. — Bryant H. McGill
