More quotes by 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
The lawgiver, of all beings, most owes the law allegiance. He of all men should behave as though the law compelled him. But it is the universal weakness of mankind that what we are given to administer we presently imagine we own.
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
The science hangs like a gathering fog in a valley, a fog which begins nowhere and goes nowhere, an incidental, unmeaning inconvenience to passers-by.
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
The art of ignoring is one of the accomplishments of every well-bred girl, so carefully instilled that at last she can even ignore her own thoughts and her own knowledge.
H. G. Wells
A young mistress is better than an old master.
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
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
If we don't end war, war will end us.
H. G. Wells
Face this world. Learn its ways, watch it, be careful of too hasty guesses at its meaning. In the end you will find clues to it all.
H. G. Wells
All men, however highly educated, retain some superstitious inklings.
H. G. Wells
Fools make researches and wise men exploit them.
H. G. Wells
If you fell down yesterday, stand up today.
H. G. Wells
The teacher, whether mother, priest, or schoolmaster, is the real maker of history.
H. G. Wells
For after the Battle comes quiet.
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
It sounds plausible enough tonight, but wait until tomorrow. Wait for the common sense of the morning.
H. G. Wells
The future is the shape of things to come.
H. G. Wells
