Success is to be measured not ...

Success is to be measured not by wealth, power, or fame, but by the ratio between what a man is and what he might be.

Herbert Wells 414 quotes

The brain upon which my experi...

The brain upon which my experiences have been written is not a particularly good one. If their were brain-shows, as there are cat and dog shows, I doubt if it would get even a third class prize.

Herbert Wells 414 quotes

The catastrophe of the atomic ...

The catastrophe of the atomic bombs which shook men out of cities and businesses and economic relations, shook them also out of their old-established habits of thought, and out of the lightly held beliefs and prejudices that came down to them from the past.

Herbert Wells 414 quotes

The third peculiarity of aeria...

The third peculiarity of aerial warfare was that it was at once enormously destructive and entirely indecisive.

Herbert Wells 414 quotes

The too perfect security of th...

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.

Herbert Wells 414 quotes

The true objection to slavery ...

The true objection to slavery is not that it is unjust to the inferior but that it corrupts the superior.

Herbert Wells 414 quotes

The weaving of mankind into on...

The weaving of mankind into one community does not imply the creation of a homogeneous community, but rather the reverse; the welcome and adequate utilization of distinctive quality in an atmosphere of understanding.... Communities all to one pattern, like boxes of toy soldiers, are things of the past, rather than of the future.

Herbert Wells 414 quotes

We were making the future and ...

We were making the future and hardly any of us troubled to think what future we were making. And here it is!

What good is religion if it collapses under calamity?

Will is stronger than fact: it...

Will is stronger than fact: it can mold and overcome fact.

Herbert Wells 414 quotes

Everywhere in the world there ...

Everywhere in the world there are ignorance and prejudice, but the greatest complex of these, with the most extensive prestige and the most intimate entanglement with traditional institutions, is the Roman Catholic Church.

Herbert Wells 414 quotes

The man who raises a fist has ...

The man who raises a fist has run out of ideas.

Books-bright windows in this life of ours, lit by the shining souls of men.

Herbert Wells 414 quotes

Find the thing you want to do ...

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

Herbert Wells 414 quotes

Life is two things. Life is mo...

Life is two things. Life is morality Ђ' life is adventure. Squire and master. Adventure rules, and morality looks up the trains in the Bradshaw. Morality tells you what is right, and adventure moves you. If morality means anything it means keeping bounds, respecting implications, respecting implicit bounds. If individuality means anything it means breaking bounds Ђ' adventure.

It sounds plausible enough tonight, but wait until tomorrow. Wait for the common sense of the morning.

Herbert Wells 414 quotes

I went over the heads of the things a man reckons desirable. No doubt invisibility made it possible to get them, but it made it impossible to enjoy them when they are got.

Herbert Wells 414 quotes

You have only to play at Littl...

You have only to play at Little Wars three or four times to realize just what a blundering thing Great War must be. Great War is at present, I am convinced, not only the most expensive game in the universe, but it is a game out of all proportion. Not only are the masses of men and material and suffering and inconvenience too monstrously big for reason, but-the available heads we have for it, are too small. That, I think, is the most pacific realization conceivable, and Little War brings you to it as nothing else but Gr

Herbert Wells 414 quotes

We have learned now that we cannot regard this planet as being fenced in and a secure abiding place for Man we can never anticipate the unseen good or evil that may come upon us suddenly out of space.

Herbert Wells 414 quotes

I see knowledge increasing and human power increasing. I see ever-increasing possibilities before life, And I see no limits set to it at all, Existence impresses me as a perpetual dawn. Our lives, as I apprehend, are great in expectations.
