H. G. Wells
Moral indignation is jealousy with a halo.
Adapt or perish, now as ever, is nature's inexorable imperative.
After people have repeated a phrase a great number of times, they begin to realize it has meaning and may even be true.
The crisis of today is the joke of tomorrow.
Advertising is legalized lying.
Affliction comes to us, not to make us sad but sober; not to make us sorry but wise.
Beauty is in the heart of the beholder.
Crime and bad lives are the measure of a State's failure, all crime in the end is the crime of the community.
Fools make researches and wise men exploit them.
If we don't end war, war will end us.
If you fell down yesterday, stand up today.
Nothing leads so straight to futility as literary ambitions without systematic knowledge.
Our true nationality is mankind.
Some people bear three kinds of trouble - the ones they've had, the ones they have, and the ones they expect to have.
- All from Herbert George Wells, 1866 - 1946
About:
Herbert George Wells was born at Bromley, England on 21 Sep 1866. He was apprenticed as a draper, which inspired several of his novels, then taught school before securing a scholarship to the Normal School of Science at South Kensington. Although his writing covers a broad range, he is now best known for his science fiction work, mostly between 1895 and 1905, starting with The Time Machine and including The War of the Worlds.
