H. G. Wells
The past is the beginning of the beginning and all that is and has been is but the twilight of the dawn.
H. G. Wells
Men fancied there might be other men upon Mars, perhaps inferior to themselves and ready to welcome a missionary enterprise.
H. G. Wells
Let us get together with other people of our sort and make over the world into a great world-civilization that will enable us to realize the promises and avoid the dangers of this new time.
H. G. Wells
There's truths you have to grow into.
H. G. Wells

H. G. Wells
It is a law of nature we overlook, that intellectual versatility is the compensation for change, danger, and trouble.
H. G. Wells
Night, the mother of fear and mystery, was coming upon me.
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
The Social Contract is nothing more or less than a vast conspiracy of human beings to lie to and humbug themselves for the general Good. Lies are the mortar that bind the savage individual man into the social masonry.
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
Every one of these hundreds of millions of human beings is in some form seeking happiness.... Not one is altogether noble nor altogether trustworthy nor altogether consistent and not one is altogether vile.... Not a single one but has at some time wept.
H. G. Wells
The teacher, whether mother, priest, or schoolmaster, is the real maker of history.
H. G. Wells
Hinduism is synonymous with humanism. That is its essence and its great liberating quality.
H. G. Wells
New and stirring things are belittled because if they are not belittled the humiliating question arises 'Why then are you not taking part in them?
H. G. Wells
One believes in Stephen Dedalus as one believes in few characters in fiction.
H. G. Wells
For after the Battle comes quiet.
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
But-! I say! The common conventions of humanity-' 'Are all very well for common people.
H. G. Wells
