Huxley

Famous quotes containing the word huxley:

    Most vices ... demand considerable self-sacrifices. There is no greater mistake than to suppose that a vicious life is a life of uninterrupted pleasure. It is a life almost as wearisome and painful—if strenuously led—as Christian’s in The Pilgrim’s Progress.
    —Aldous Huxley (1894–1963)

    The man of science has learned to believe in justification, not by faith, but by verification.
    —Thomas Henry Huxley (1825–95)

    My belief is that no being and no society composed of human beings ever did, or ever will, come to much unless their conduct was governed and guided by the love of some ethical ideal.
    —Thomas Henry Huxley (1825–95)
