Aldous Huxley
Image

Image
Grace is always sufficient, provided we are ready to cooperate with it.
Aldous Huxley
Image
But the nature of the universe is such that ends can never justify means. On the contrary, the means always determine the end.
Aldous Huxley
Image
The brotherhood of men does not imply their equality. Families have their fools and their men of genius, their black sheep and their saints, their worldly successes and their worldly failures. A man should treat his brothers lovingly and with justice, according to the deserts of each. But the deserts of every brother are not the same.
Aldous Huxley

Christianity accepted as given a metaphysical system derived from several already existing and mutually incompatible systems.
Aldous Huxley
Image
If the Prince of Peace should come to earth, one of the first things he would do would be to put psychiatrists in their place.
Aldous Huxley
Image
Dedicated to all those who say: I don't have time for analytics or I don't understand analytics.
Aldous Huxley
Image
But then every man is ludicrous if you look at him from outside, without taking into account what’s going on in his heart and mind.
Aldous Huxley
Image
A man may be a pessimistic determinist before lunch and an optimistic believer in the will's freedom after it.
Aldous Huxley
Image
Most kings and priests have been despotic, and all religions have been riddled with superstition.
Aldous Huxley
Image
Every civilization is, among other things, an arrangement for domesticating the passions and setting them to do useful work.
Aldous Huxley
