H. G. Wells
If all the animals and man had been evolved in this ascendant manner, then there had been no first parents, no Eden, and no Fall.

H. G. Wells

H. G. Wells
Statistical thinking will one day be as necessary for efficient citizenship as the ability to read and write!
H. G. Wells
The too perfect security of the Upper-worlders had led them to a slow movement of degeneration, a general dwindling in size, strength, and intelligence.
H. G. Wells
Strength is the outcome of need.
H. G. Wells
We were making the future and hardly any of us troubled to think what future we were making. And here it is!
H. G. Wells
