Mankind which began in a cave ...

Mankind which began in a cave and behind a windbreak will end in the disease-soaked ruins of a slum.

Human society is based on want...

Human society is based on want. Life is based on want. Wild-eyed visionaries may dream of a world without need. Cloud-cuckoo-land. It can't be done.

Herbert Wells 414 quotes

The true strength of rulers an...

The true strength of rulers and empires lies not in armies or emotions, but in the belief of men that they are inflexibly open and truthful and legal. As soon as a government departs from that standard it ceases to be anything more than 'the gang in possession,' and its days are numbered.

Welles and I differed, however, in our interpretation of the results of the Munich Conference, he being optimistic, I skeptical. In a radio address on October 3, several days after the conference, in which he described the steps taken by the United States Government just prior to Munich, he said that today, perhaps more than at any time during the past two decades, there was presented the opportunity for the establishment by the nations of the world of a new world order based upon justice and upon law. It seemed to me

You have learned something. That always feels at first as if you had lost something.

While there is a chance of the world getting through its troubles, I hold that a reasonable man has to behave as though he were sure of it. If at the end your cheerfulness in not justified, at any rate you will have been cheerful.

We are living in 1937, and our universities, I suggest, are not half-way out of the fifteenth century. We have made hardly any changes in our conception of university organization, education, graduation, for a century - for several centuries

There's nothing wrong in suffering, if you suffer for a purpose. Our revolution didn't abolish danger or death. It simply made danger and death worthwhile.

The uglier a man's legs are, the better he plays golf - it's almost a law.

The past is the beginning of the beginning and all that is and has been is but the twilight of the dawn.

The past is but the past of a beginning.

The New Deal is plainly an attempt to achieve a working socialism and avert a social collapse in America; it is extraordinarily parallel to the successive 'policies' and 'Plans' of the Russian experiment. Americans shirk the word 'socialism', but what else can one call it?

The crisis of today is the joke of tomorrow.

Some people bear three kinds of trouble - the ones they've had, the ones they have, and the ones they expect to have.

Sailors ought never to go to church. They ought to go to hell, where it is much more comfortable.

Once the command of the air is obtained by one of the contending armies, the war becomes a conflict between a seeing host and one that is blind.

Herbert Wells 414 quotes

Nothing leads so straight to futility as literary ambitions without systematic knowledge.

No passion in the world is equal to the passion to alter someone else's draft.

Herbert Wells 414 quotes

Leaders should lead as far as they can and then vanish. Their ashes should not choke the fire they have lit.

It is not reasonable that those who gamble with men's lives should not pay with their own.
