More quotes by H. G. Wells
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
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
No compulsion in the world is stronger than the urge to edit someone else's document.
H. G. Wells
If we do not end war - war will end us. Everybody says that, millions of people believe it, and nobody does anything.
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
The Anglo-Saxon genius for parliamentary government asserted itself there was a great deal of talk and no decisive action.
H. G. Wells
The War That Will End War.
H. G. Wells
Patriotism has become a mere national self assertion, a sentimentality of flag-cheering with no constructive duties.
H. G. Wells
We must end war before war ends us.
H. G. Wells
Things that would have made fame of a less clever man seemed tricks in his hands. It is a mistake to do things too easily.
H. G. Wells
Strength is the outcome of need.
H. G. Wells
The doctrine of the Kingdom of Heaven, which was the main teaching of Jesus, is certainly one of the most revolutionary doctrines that ever stirred and changed human thought.
H. G. Wells
If you fell down yesterday, stand up today.
H. G. Wells
There is no remorse like a remorse of chess. It is a curse upon man. There is no happiness in chess.
H. G. Wells
Suddenly, like a thing falling upon me from without, came fear.
H. G. Wells
There is nothing in machinery, there is nothing in embankments and railways and iron bridges and engineering devices to oblige them to be ugly. Ugliness is the measure of imperfection.
H. G. Wells
Democracy's ceremonial, its feast, it's great function, is the election.
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
When the history of civilization is written, it will be a biological history and Margaret Sanger will be its heroine.
H. G. Wells
In all the round world of Utopia there is no meat. There used to be, but now we cannot stand the thought of slaughterhouses. And it is impossible to find anyone who will hew a dead ox or pig. I can still remember as a boy the rejoicings over the closing of the last slaughterhouse.
H. G. Wells
