H. G. Wells
  • Advertising is legalized lying.

  • A time will come when a politician who has willfully made war and promoted international dissension will be as sure of the dock and much surer of the noose than a private homicide. It is not reasonable that those who gamble with men's lives should not stake their own.

  • Adapt or perish, now as ever, is nature's inexorable imperative.

  • Man is the unnatural animal, the rebel child of nature, and more and more does he turn himself against the harsh and fitful hand that reared him.

  • In politics, strangely enough, the best way to play your cards is to lay them face upwards on the table.
