And nor does freedom. We don’t become happy just because we’re free, if we are, or because we have been educated, if we have. But because education may be the means by which we realise we’re happy. It opens our eyes, our ears, tells us where delights are lurking, convinces us that there is only one freedom of any importance whatsoever, that of the mind, and gives us the assurance, the confidence, to walk the path our mind, our educated mind, offers.

Ancient Greek wine sellers used to hang a branch of ivy outside to advertise their wine shop (in the way that shops still have signs to advertise their contents). Good wine needs no bush is a phrase that has been used by Shakespear and others, but I wouldn't say it is all that current, in British English, anyway. I'd never heard of it and went on an internet search for this info.http://www.englishforums.com/English/GoodWineNeedsNoBush/cvnqc/post.htmMon, 26 Jan 2009 00:11:40 GMT946f00bb-57d3-4b7b-a9a2-059b5341af52:190725Hly20044http://www.englishforums.com/English/GoodWineNeedsNoBush/cvnqc/post.htmhttp://www.englishforums.com/English/comments29-190725.xmlGood wine needs no bush , and perhaps products that people really want need no hard-sell or soft-sell TV push.
