More quotes by H. G. Wells
Good books are the warehouses of ideas.
H. G. Wells
By the toll of a billion deaths man has bought his birthright of the earth, and it is his against all comers it would still be his were the Martians ten times as mighty as they are. For neither do men live nor die in vain.
H. G. Wells
An animal may be ferocious and cunning enough, but it takes a real man to tell a lie.
H. G. Wells
In England we have come to rely upon a comfortable time-lag of fifty years or a century intervening between the perception that something ought to be done and a serious attempt to do it.
H. G. Wells
Marriage isn't what it was. It's become a different thing because women have become human beings.
H. G. Wells
It is a law of nature we overlook, that intellectual versatility is the compensation for change, danger, and trouble.
H. G. Wells
Dragging out life to the last possible second is not living to the best effect. The nearer the bone, the sweeter the meat. The best of life, Passworthy, lies nearest to the edge of death.
H. G. Wells
Be a man!... What good is religion if it collapses under calamity? Think of what earthquakes and floods, wars and volcanoes, have done before to men! Did you think that God had exempted [us]? He is not an insurance agent.
H. G. Wells
Fools make researches and wise men exploit them - that is our earthly way of dealing with the question, and we thank Heaven for an assumed abundance of financially impotent and sufficiently ingenious fools.
H. G. Wells
Strength is the outcome of need security sets a premium on feebleness. The work of ameliorating the conditions of life -- the true civilizing process that makes life more and more secure -- had gone steadily on to a climax... And the harvest was what I saw.
H. G. Wells
I write to cover a frame of ideas.
H. G. Wells
The teacher, whether mother, priest, or schoolmaster, is the real maker of history.
H. G. Wells
The uglier a man's legs are, the better he plays golf - it's almost a law.
H. G. Wells
Countless people...will hate the New World Order...and will die protesting against it...we have to bear in mind the distress of a generation or so of malcontents.
H. G. Wells
Fools make researches and wise men exploit them.
H. G. Wells
No compulsion in the world is stronger than the urge to edit someone else's document.
H. G. Wells
Go away... I'm alright.
H. G. Wells
All men, however highly educated, retain some superstitious inklings.
H. G. Wells
One believes in Stephen Dedalus as one believes in few characters in fiction.
H. G. Wells
The Social Contract is nothing more or less than a vast conspiracy of human beings to lie to and humbug themselves for the general Good. Lies are the mortar that bind the savage individual man into the social masonry.
H. G. Wells
