More quotes by H. G. Wells
Crude classifications and false generalizations are the curse of the organized life.
H. G. Wells
Strength is the outcome of need.
H. G. Wells
States organized for war will make war as surely as hens will lay eggs.
H. G. Wells
Crime and bad lives are the measure of a State's failure, all crime in the end is the crime of the community.
H. G. Wells
All men, however highly educated, retain some superstitious inklings.
H. G. Wells
It is highly probable that the bulk of the Jew's ancestors 'never' lived in Palestine 'at all,' which witnesses the power of historical assertion over fact.
H. G. Wells
You have, let us say, a promising politician, a rising artist that you wish to destroy. Dagger or bomb are archaic, clumsy and unreliable - but teach him, inoculate him with chess.
H. G. Wells
Our challenge is not to educate the children we used to have or want to have, but to educate the children who come to the schoolhouse door.
H. G. Wells
The world needs something stronger than any possible rebellion against its peace. In other words it needs a federal world government embodying a new conception of human life as one whole.
H. G. Wells
Life, forever dying to be born afresh, forever young and eager, will presently stand upon this Earth as upon a footstool, and stretch out its realm amidst the stars.
H. G. Wells
This is the end and the beginning of an age. This is something far greater than the French Revolution or the Reformation and we live in it.
H. G. Wells
It sounds plausible enough tonight, but wait until tomorrow. Wait for the common sense of the morning.
H. G. Wells
If all the animals and man had been evolved in this ascendant manner, then there had been no first parents, no Eden, and no Fall. And if there had been no fall, then the entire historical fabric of Christianity, the story of the first sin and the reason for an atonement ... collapsed like a house of cards.
H. G. Wells
A time will come when men will sit with history before them or with some old newspaper before them and ask incredulously,Was there ever such a world?
H. G. Wells
I often think we do not take this business of photography in a sufficiently serious spirit. Issuing a photograph is like marriage: you can only undo the mischief with infinite woe.
H. G. Wells
I stood staring, not as yet realising that this was death leaping from man to man in that little distant crowd.
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
Advertising is legalized lying.
H. G. Wells
Night, the mother of fear and mystery, was coming upon me.
H. G. Wells
If you fell down yesterday, stand up today.
H. G. Wells
