H. G. Wells
Image
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.

Cycle trails will abound in Utopia.
H. G. Wells
Image
If you are in difficulties with a book, try the element of surprise: attack it at an hour when it isn't expecting it.
H. G. Wells
Image
A downtrodden class... will never be able to make an effective protest until it achieves solidarity.
H. G. Wells
Image
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
Image
The teacher, whether mother, priest, or schoolmaster, is the real maker of history.
H. G. Wells
Image
We want to get rid of the militarist not simply because he hurts and kills, but because he is an intolerable thick-voiced blockhead who stands hectoring and blustering in our way of achievement.
H. G. Wells
Image
If there is no God, nothing matters. If there is a God, nothing else matters.
