Thomas Huxley quotes about
inspiring freedom men
It is far better for a man to go wrong in freedom than to go right in chains.
truth lying science
Irrationally held truths may be more harmful than reasoned errors.
drinking practice support
I hated tobacco. I could have almost lent my support to any institution that had for its object the putting of tobacco smokers to death...I now feel that smoking in moderation is a comfortable and laudable practice, and is productive of good. There is no more harm in a pipe than in a cup of tea. You may poison yourself by drinking too much green tea, and kill yourself by eating too many beefsteaks. For my part, I consider that tobacco, in moderation, is a sweetener and equalizer of the temper.
ladders off-to-college focus-on-goals
The rung of a ladder was never meant to rest upon.
apes bishops ancestor
I'd rather have an ape for an ancestor than a bishop.
savages ghost without-god
There are savages without God in any proper sense of the word, but none without ghosts.
imagination limits probability
The scientific imagination always restrains itself within the limits of probability.
medicine woes
The only medicine for suffering, crime, and all the other woes of mankind, is wisdom.
