There is hope for the future,...

There is hope for the future, and when the world is ready for a new and better life, all these things will some day come to pass, - in God's good time

Jules Verne 176 quotes

We are of opinion that instead of letting books grow moldy behind an iron grating, far from the vulgar gaze, it is better to let them wear out by being read.

Jules Verne 176 quotes

While there is life there is ...

While there is life there is hope. I beg to assert...that as long as a man's heart beats, as long as a man's flesh quivers, I do not allow that a being gifted with thought and will can allow himself to despair.

It is a great misfortune to be alone, my friends; and it must be believed that solitude can quickly destroy reason.

Jules Verne 176 quotes

He must have travelled everywhere, at least in the spirit.

Jules Verne 176 quotes

Better to put things at the worst at first and reserve the best for a surprise.

Jules Verne 176 quotes

Nature's creative power is far beyond man's instinct of destruction.

Jules Verne 176 quotes

I believe that water will one day be employed as fuel, that hydrogen and oxygen which constitute it, used singly or together, will furnish an inexhaustible source of heat and light, of an intensity of which coal is not capable.

Science, my lad, has been built upon many errors; but they are errors which it was good to fall into, for they led to the truth.

Jules Verne 176 quotes

External objects produce decided effects upon the brain. A man shut up between four walls soon loses the power to associate words and ideas together. How many prisoners in solitary confinement become idiots, if not mad, for want of exercise for the thinking faculty!

Jules Verne 176 quotes

Why lower oneself to taking pride from being American or British, when you can boast of being man!

Jules Verne 176 quotes

The earth does not need new continents, but new men.

An English criminal, you know is always better concealed in London than anywhere else.

It's really useful to travel, if you want to see new things.

The chance which now seems lost may present itself at the last moment.

During the War of the Rebellion, a new and influential club was established in the city of Baltimore in the State of Maryland

Jules Verne 176 quotes

Well, gentlemen, do you belie...

Well, gentlemen, do you believe in the possibility of aerial locomotion by machines heavier than air? ... You ask yourselves doubtless if this apparatus, so marvellously adapted for aerial locomotion, is susceptible of receiving greater speed. It is not worth while to conquer space if we cannot devour it. I wanted the air to be a solid support to me, and it is. I saw that to struggle against the wind I must be stronger than the wind, and I am.

Nothing can astound an American. It has often been asserted that the word "impossible" is not a French one. People have evidently been deceived by the dictionary. In America, all is easy, all is simple; and as for mechanical difficulties, they are overcome before they arise.

An Englishman does not joke about such an important matter as a bet.

Jules Verne 176 quotes

Yes, I could see these enormous elephants, whose trunks were tearing down large boughs, and working in and out the trees like a legion of serpents. I could hear the sounds of the mighty tusks uprooting huge trees!
