H. G. Wells
Image
Let your love be stronger than your hate or anger. Learn the wisdom of compromise, for it is better to bend a little than to break.
H. G. Wells
Image
It is a law of nature we overlook, that intellectual versatility is the compensation for change, danger, and trouble.

H. G. Wells
Image
But there are times when the little cloud spreads, until it obscures the sky. And those times I look around at my fellow men and I am reminded of some likeness of the beast-people, and I feel as though the animal is surging up in them. And I know they are neither wholly animal nor holy man, but an unstable combination of both.
H. G. Wells
Image
Every one of these hundreds of millions of human beings is in some form seeking happiness.... Not one is altogether noble nor altogether trustworthy nor altogether consistent and not one is altogether vile.... Not a single one but has at some time wept.
