H. G. Wells
Image
The choice is: the Universe...or nothing.
H. G. Wells
Image
We live in a world of unused and misapplied knowledge and skill.
H. G. Wells
Image
Heresies are experiments in man's unsatisfied search for truth.
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
Image
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

H. G. Wells
Image
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
Image
I am an historian, I am not a believer, but I must confess as a historian that this penniless preacher from Nazareth is irrevocably the very center of history. Jesus Christ is easily the most dominant figure in all history.
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
This has ever been the fate of energy in security it takes to art and to eroticism, and then comes languor and decay.
H. G. Wells
Image
Find the thing you want to do most intensely, make sure that’s it, and do it with all your might. If you live, well and good. If you die, well and good. Your purpose is done
H. G. Wells
Image
The teacher, whether mother, priest, or schoolmaster, is the real maker of history.
H. G. Wells
Image
There is space in its philosophy for everyone which is one reason why India is a home to every single religion in the world.

Strength is the outcome of need.
