Robert A. Heinlein
when faced with a problem you do not understand, do any part of it you do understand, then look at it again.
Robert A. Heinlein
His older self had taught his younger self a language which the older self knew because the younger self, after being taught, grew up to be the older self and was, therefore, capable of teaching.
Robert A. Heinlein
Everything in excess! To enjoy the flavor of life, take big bites. Moderation is for monks.
Robert A. Heinlein
But, if there ever was a time in history when peace meant that there was no fighting going on, I have been unable to find out about it.
Robert A. Heinlein
If we blow ourselves up we will do it by misapplication of science if we manage to keep from blowing ourselves up, it will be through intelligent application of science.
Robert A. Heinlein
