ALDOUS HUXLEYHigher education is not necessarily a guarantee of higher virtue.
ALDOUS HUXLEYThe older dictators fell because they could never supply their subjects with enough bread, enough circuses, enough miracles, and mysteries.

ALDOUS HUXLEYChronic remorse, as all the moralists are agreed, is a most undesirable sentiment. If you have behaved badly, repent, make what amends you can and address yourself to the task of behaving better next time. On no account brood over your wrongdoing. Rolling in the muck is not the best way of getting clean.
