More quotes by H. G. Wells
I see knowledge increasing and human power increasing, I see everincreasing possibilities before life, and I see no limits set to it all. Existence impresses me as a perpetual dawn. Our lives, as I apprehend them, swim in expectation.
H. G. Wells
The past is but the past of a beginning.
H. G. Wells
For after the Battle comes quiet.
H. G. Wells
We are living in 1937, and our universities, I suggest, are not half-way out of the fifteenth century. We have made hardly any changes in our conception of university organization, education, graduation, for a century - for several centuries.
H. G. Wells
Patriotism has become a mere national self assertion, a sentimentality of flag-cheering with no constructive duties.
H. G. Wells
There's nothing wrong in suffering, if you suffer for a purpose. Our revolution didn't abolish danger or death. It simply made danger and death worthwhile.
H. G. Wells
We must not allow the clock and the calendar to blind us to the fact that each moment of life is a miracle and mystery.
H. G. Wells
If you fell down yesterday, stand up today.
H. G. Wells
If there is no God, nothing matters. If there is a God, nothing else matters.
H. G. Wells
I hope, or I could not live.
H. G. Wells
An animal may be ferocious and cunning enough, but it takes a real man to tell a lie.
H. G. Wells
Men fancied there might be other men upon Mars, perhaps inferior to themselves and ready to welcome a missionary enterprise.
H. G. Wells
In all the round world there is no meat. There used to be. But now we cannot stand the thought of slaughterhouses.
H. G. Wells
If only I had thought of a Kodak! I could have flashed that glimpse of the Under-world in a second, and examined it at leisure.
H. G. Wells
We were making the future and hardly any of us troubled to think what future we were making. And here it is!
H. G. Wells
The third peculiarity of aerial warfare was that it was at once enormously destructive and entirely indecisive.
H. G. Wells
Mankind which began in a cave and behind a windbreak will end in the disease-soaked ruins of a slum.
H. G. Wells
The doctrine of the Kingdom of Heaven, which was the main teaching of Jesus, is certainly one of the most revolutionary doctrines that ever stirred and changed human thought.
H. G. Wells
This isn't a war, said the artilleryman. It never was a war, any more than there's war between man and ants.
H. G. Wells
The science hangs like a gathering fog in a valley, a fog which begins nowhere and goes nowhere, an incidental, unmeaning inconvenience to passers-by.
H. G. Wells
