More quotes by H. G. Wells
What on earth would a man do with himself, if something did not stand in his way?
H. G. Wells
Few people realise the immensity of vacancy in which the dust of the material universe swims.
H. G. Wells
If your life doesn't end in failure, you haven't reached high enough. So it was failure I had to achieve.
H. G. Wells
A time will come when a politician who has willfully made war and promoted international dissension will be as sure of the dock and much surer of the noose than a private homicide. It is not reasonable that those who gamble with men's lives should not stake their own.
H. G. Wells
Figures are the most shocking things in the world. The prettiest little squiggles of black looked at in the right light and yet consider the blow they can give you upon the heart.
H. G. Wells
The future is the shape of things to come.
H. G. Wells
Crime and bad lives are the measure of a State's failure, all crime in the end is the crime of the community.
H. G. Wells
There were no object lessons, and the studies of bookkeeping and French were pursued (but never effectually overtaken.
H. G. Wells
He was inordinately proud of England and he abused her incessantly.
H. G. Wells
Dragging out life to the last possible second is not living to the best effect. The nearer the bone, the sweeter the meat. The best of life, Passworthy, lies nearest to the edge of death.
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
There is nothing in machinery, there is nothing in embankments and railways and iron bridges and engineering devices to oblige them to be ugly. Ugliness is the measure of imperfection.
H. G. Wells
...fact takes no heed of human hopes.
H. G. Wells
The man was running away with the rest, and selling his papers for a shilling each as he ran—a grotesque mingling of profit and panic.
H. G. Wells
We can't have any weak or silly. Life is real again, and the useless and cumbersome and mischievous have to die. They ought to die. They ought to be willing to die. It's a sort of disloyalty, after all, to live and taint the race.
H. G. Wells
Patriotism has become a mere national self assertion, a sentimentality of flag-cheering with no constructive duties.
H. G. Wells
To ride a bicycle properly is very like a love affair-chiefly it is a matter of faith. Believe you do it, and the thing is done doubt, and, for the life of you, you cannot.
H. G. Wells
The uglier a man's legs are, the better he plays golf - it's almost a law.
H. G. Wells
The lawgiver, of all beings, most owes the law allegiance. He of all men should behave as though the law compelled him. But it is the universal weakness of mankind that what we are given to administer we presently imagine we own.
H. G. Wells
In England we have come to rely upon a comfortable time-lag of fifty years or a century intervening between the perception that something ought to be done and a serious attempt to do it.
H. G. Wells
