H.G.Wells Quotes

The Accidental Balance On The Side Of Progress Was Far Slighter And Infinitely More Complex And Delicate In Its Adjustments Than The People Of That Time Suspected; But That Did Not Alter The Fact That It Was An Effective Balance. They Did Not Realize That This Age Of Relative Good Fortune Was An Age Of Immense But Temporary Opportunity For Their Kind. They Complacently Assumed A Necessary Progress Towards Which They Had No Moral Responsibility. They Did Not Realize That This Security Of Progress Was A Thing Still To Be Won Or Lost, And That The Time To Win It Was A Time That Passed. They Went About Their Affairs Energetically Enough, And Yet With A Curious Idleness Towards Those Threatening Things. No One Troubled Over The Real Dangers Of Mankind.
