More From Aldous Huxley

When you have your own bus, then you have dignity. when you have your own school, you have dignity. when you have your own country, you have dignity.when you have something of your own, you have dignity. but whenever you are begging for a chance to participate in that which belongs to someone else, or use that which belongs to someone else, on an equal basis with the owner, that's not dignity. that's ignorance.

I told myself, "lincoln, you can never make a lawyer if you do not understand what demonstrate means." so i left my situation in springfield, went home to my father's house, and stayed there till i could give any proposition in the six books of euclid at sight. i then found out what "demonstrate" means, and went back to my law studies.

Educational Philosophy Self
I think also, that general virtue is more probably to be expected and obtained from the education of youth, than from exhortations of adult persons; bad habits and vices of the mind being, like diseases of the body, more easily prevented than cured. i think moreover, that talents for the education of youth are the gift of god; and that he on whom they are bestowed, whenever a way is opened for use of them, is as strongly called as if he heard a voice from heaven.
