Royal Institution Building

Famous quotes containing the words royal, institution and/or building:

    Because humans are not alone in exhibiting such behavior—bees stockpile royal jelly, birds feather their nests, mice shred paper—it’s possible that a pregnant woman who scrubs her house from floor to ceiling [just before her baby is born] is responding to a biological imperative . . . . Of course there are those who believe that . . . the burst of energy that propels a pregnant woman to clean her house is a perfectly natural response to their mother’s impending visit.
    Mary Arrigo (20th century)

    ... an institution cannot be run progressively on a basis of fear.
    Mary B. Harris (1874–1957)

    The limits of prudence: one cannot jump out of a burning building gradually.
