More quotes by H. G. Wells
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
Bah! The thing is not a nose at all, but a bit of primordial chaos clapped on to my face.
H. G. Wells
The new century will see changes that will dwarf those of the last.
H. G. Wells
There is no remorse like the remorse of Chess
H. G. Wells
Christ is the most unique person of history. No man can write a history of the human race without giving first and foremost place to the penniless Teacher of Nazareth.
H. G. Wells
An animal may be ferocious and cunning enough, but it takes a real man to tell a lie.
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
If you are in difficulties with a book, try the element of surprise: attack it at an hour when it isn't expecting it.
H. G. Wells
The character of the Open Conspiracy [the movement towards a world collective] will now be plainly displayed. It will have become a great world movement as widespread and evident as socialism or communism. It will largely have taken the place of these movements. It will be more, it will be a world religion.
H. G. Wells
Endless conflicts. Endless misunderstanding. All life is that. Great and little cannot understand one another.
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
Cynicism is humor in ill health.
H. G. Wells
A federation of all humanity, together with a sufficient measure of social justice, to ensure health, education, and a rough equality of opportunity to most of the children born into the world, would mean such a release and increase of human energy as to open a new phase in human history.
H. G. Wells
I don't suppose any man has ever understood any woman since the beginning of things. You don't understand our imaginations, how wild our imaginations can be.
H. G. Wells
A young mistress is better than an old master.
H. G. Wells
Science has toiled too long forging weapons for fools to use. It is time she held her hand.
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
If your life doesn't end in failure, you haven't reached high enough. So it was failure I had to achieve.
H. G. Wells
I write as straight as I can, just as I walk as straight as I can, because that is the best way to get there.
H. G. Wells
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
