H. G. Wells
I must confess that I lost faith in the sanity of the world
H. G. Wells
You are not mechanics, you are warriors. You have been trained, not to think, but to do.
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
What good is religion if it collapses under calamity?
H. G. Wells
Mankind which began in a cave and behind a windbreak will end in the disease-soaked ruins of a slum.
H. G. Wells
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
He who does not contemplate the future is destined to be overwhelmed by it.
H. G. Wells
I hope, or I could not live.
H. G. Wells
Strength is the outcome of need.
H. G. Wells
A young mistress is better than an old master.
H. G. Wells
I stood staring, not as yet realising that this was death leaping from man to man in that little distant crowd.
H. G. Wells
