More quotes by H. G. Wells
The German people are an orderly, vain, deeply sentimental and rather insensitive people. They seem to feel at their best when they are singing in chorus, saluting or obeying orders.
H. G. Wells
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
We're in a blessed drainpipe, and we've got to crawl along it till we die.
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
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
In England we have come to rely upon a comfortable time-lag of fifty years or a century intervening between the perception that something ought to be done and a serious attempt to do it.
H. G. Wells
He who does not contemplate the future is destined to be overwhelmed by it.
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
But there are times when the little cloud spreads, until it obscures the sky. And those times I look around at my fellow men and I am reminded of some likeness of the beast-people, and I feel as though the animal is surging up in them. And I know they are neither wholly animal nor holy man, but an unstable combination of both.
H. G. Wells
Room to swing a cat, it seemed was absolutely essential. It was an infrequent but indispensable operation.
H. G. Wells
The War That Will End War.
H. G. Wells
Satan delights equally in statistics and in quoting scripture.
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
The third peculiarity of aerial warfare was that it was at once enormously destructive and entirely indecisive.
H. G. Wells
Fools make researches and wise men exploit them - that is our earthly way of dealing with the question, and we thank Heaven for an assumed abundance of financially impotent and sufficiently ingenious fools.
H. G. Wells
The future is the shape of things to come.
H. G. Wells
The man who raises a fist has run out of ideas.
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
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
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
