States organized for war will make war as surely as hens will lay eggs.
H. G. Wells
I hope, or I could not live.
H. G. Wells
By this time I was no longer very much terrified or very miserable. I had, as it were, passed the limit of terror and despair. I felt now that my life was practically lost, and that persuasion made me capable of daring anything
H. G. Wells
For all my desire to be interesting, I have to confess that for most things and people I don't give a damn.
H. G. Wells
If you fell down yesterday, stand up today.
H. G. Wells
It is possible to believe that all the past is but the beginning of a beginning, and that all that is and has been is but the twilight of the dawn. It is possible to believe that all the human mind has ever accomplished is but the dream before the awakening.
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
It is not much good thinking of a thing unless you think it out.
H. G. Wells
Good books are the warehouses of ideas.
H. G. Wells
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
Suddenly, like a thing falling upon me from without, came fear.
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
The Anglo-Saxon genius for parliamentary government asserted itself there was a great deal of talk and no decisive action.
H. G. Wells
A day will come when beings, now latent in our thoughts and hidden in our loins, shall stand upon Earth as a footstool and laugh, and reach out their hands amidst the stars.
H. G. Wells
Statistical thinking will one day be as necessary for efficient citizenship as the ability to read and write!
H. G. Wells
This is the end and the beginning of an age. This is something far greater than the French Revolution or the Reformation and we live in it.
H. G. Wells
The crying sounded even louder out of doors. It was as if all the pain in the world had found a voice
H. G. Wells
Nothing endures, nothing is precise and certain (except the mind of a pedant), perfection is the mere repudiation of that ineluctable marginal inexactitude which is the mysterious inmost quality of Being
H. G. Wells
There's truths you have to grow into.
H. G. Wells
Be a man!... What good is religion if it collapses under calamity? Think of what earthquakes and floods, wars and volcanoes, have done before to men! Did you think that God had exempted [us]? He is not an insurance agent.
H. G. Wells
