If you fell down yesterday, stand up today.
H. G. Wells
If Max [Aitken] gets to Heaven he won't last long. He will be chucked out for trying to pull off a merger between Heaven and Hell ... after having secured a controlling interest in key subsidiary companies in both places, of course.
H. G. Wells
Go away... I'm alright.

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
This isn't a war, said the artilleryman. It never was a war, any more than there's war between man and ants.
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
A world revolution to a higher social order, a world order, or utter downfall lies before us all.
H. G. Wells

H. G. Wells
There's truths you have to grow into.
H. G. Wells
I hope, or I could not live.
H. G. Wells
You Americans have the loveliest wine in the world, you know, but you don't realize it. You call them domestic and that's enough to start trouble anywhere.
H. G. Wells
In all the round world there is no meat. There used to be. But now we cannot stand the thought of slaughterhouses.
H. G. Wells
The Jews looked for a special savior, a messiah, who was to redeem mankind by the agreeable process of restoring the fabulous glories of David and Solomon, and bringing the whole world at last under the firm but benevolent Jewish heel.
H. G. Wells
The true sweetness of chess, if it ever can be sweet, is to see a victory snatched, by some happy impertinence, out of the shadow of apparently irrevocable disaster.
H. G. Wells
Religions are such stuff as dreams are made of.
H. G. Wells
Cynicism is humor in ill health.
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
