The lawgiver, of all beings, most owes the law allegiance. He of all men should behave as though the law compelled him. But it is the universal weakness of mankind that what we are given to administer we presently imagine we own.
H. G. Wells
Image
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
Image
Sometimes, you have to step outside of the person you've been and remember the person you were meant to be. The person you want to be. The person you are.
H. G. Wells
Image
A time will come when a politician who has willfully made war and promoted international dissension will be as sure of the dock and much surer of the noose than a private homicide. It is not reasonable that those who gamble with men's lives should not stake their own.
H. G. Wells

H. G. Wells
Image
While there is a chance of the world getting through its troubles, I hold that a reasonable man has to behave as though he were sure of it. If at the end your cheerfulness in not justified, at any rate you will have been cheerful.
H. G. Wells
Image
The Anglo-Saxon genius for parliamentary government asserted itself there was a great deal of talk and no decisive action.
H. G. Wells
Image
We live in reference to past experience and not to future events, however inevitable.
H. G. Wells
Image
For after the Battle comes quiet.
H. G. Wells
Image
An animal may be ferocious and cunning enough, but it takes a real man to tell a lie.
H. G. Wells
Image
The establishment of the world community will surely exact a price – and who can tell what that price may be? – in toil, suffering and blood.
H. G. Wells
Image
The third peculiarity of aerial warfare was that it was at once enormously destructive and entirely indecisive.
H. G. Wells
Image
Room to swing a cat, it seemed was absolutely essential. It was an infrequent but indispensable operation.
H. G. Wells
Image
The fertilising conflict of individualities is the ultimate meaning of the personal life.
H. G. Wells
Image
States organized for war will make war as surely as hens will lay eggs.
H. G. Wells
Image
Mankind which began in a cave and behind a windbreak will end in the disease-soaked ruins of a slum.
H. G. Wells
Image
A day will come when beings, now latent in our thoughts and hidden in our loins, shall stand upon Earth as a footstool and laugh, and reach out their hands amidst the stars.
