H.G. Well

Leave it to my husband to crack an HG joke. "You should have named your blog H.G. Well." So I decided to run with it. Quotes from H.G. Wells to encourage the journey of HG Prevention and thriving:

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

"If you fell down yesterday, stand up today."

"The forceps of our minds are clumsy forceps, and crush the truth a little in taking hold of it." (Well...it's kind of birthy at any rate...)

"Sometimes you have to step outside of the person you've been and remember the person you were meant to be. The person you want to be. The person you are."

"We all have our time machines, don't we. Those that take us back are memories....And those that carry us forward, are dreams."

"Losing your way on a journey is unfortunate. But losing your reason for the journey is a fate more cruel."

"We should strive to welcome change and challenges, because they are what help us grow. Without them we grow weak like Eloi in comfort and security. We need to constantly be challenging ourselves in order to strengthen our character and increase our intelligence." ~ The Time Machine

"What on earth would a man do with himself, if something did not stand in his way?"

"Looking at these stars suddenly dwarfed my own troubles and all the gravities of terrestrial life." ~ The Time Machine

"There's truths you have to grow into." ~ Love and Mr. Lewisham

"We must not allow the clock and the calendar to blind us to the fact that each moment of life is a miracle and a mystery."

"I hope, or I could not live." ~ The Island of Dr. Moreau
