Strength is the outcome of need; security sets a premium on feebleness.

Herbert Wells 414 quotes

To do such a thing would be to...

To do such a thing would be to transcend magic. And I beheld, unclouded by doubt, a magnificent vision of all that invisibility might mean to a manЂ'the mystery, the power, the freedom. Drawbacks I saw none. You have only to think! And I, a shabby, poverty-struck, hemmed-in demonstrator, teaching fools in a provincial college, might suddenly becomeЂ'this.

Hinduism is synonymous with humanism. That is its essence and its great liberating quality.

There is space in its philosophy for everyone which is one reason why India is a home to every single religion in the world.

The fertilising conflict of individualities is the ultimate meaning of the personal life.

The history of India for many ...

The history of India for many centuries had been happier, less fierce, and more dreamlike than any other history. In these favorable conditions, they built a character - meditative and peaceful and a nation of philosophers such as could nowhere have existed except in India.

Herbert Wells 414 quotes

Nothing could have been more obvious to the people of the early twentieth century than the rapidity with which war was becoming impossible. And as certainly they did not see it. They did not see it until the atomic bombs burst in their fumbling hands.

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.

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

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

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.

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

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.

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

Face this world. Learn its way...

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.

Herbert Wells 414 quotes

And I have by me, for my comfo...

And I have by me, for my comfort, two strange white flowers - shriveled now, and brown and flat and brittle - to witness that even when mind and strength had gone, gratitude and a mutual tenderness still lived on in the heart of men.

The Athenian democracy suffered much from that narrowness of patriotism which is the ruin of all nations.

Our challenge is not to educate the children we used to have or want to have, but to educate the children who come to the schoolhouse door.
