Robert A. Heinlein
Nothing uses up alcohol faster than political argument.
Robert A. Heinlein
You can sway a thousand men by appealing to their prejudices quicker than you can convince one man by logic.
Robert A. Heinlein
An armed society is a polite society.
Robert A. Heinlein
Mighty little force is needed to control a man whose mind has been hoodwinked contrariwise, no amount of force can control a free man, a man whose mind is free. No, not the rack, not fission bombs, not anything - you can't conquer a free man the most you can do is kill him.
Robert A. Heinlein

Robert A. Heinlein
In terms of morals there is no such thing as ‘state.’ Just men. Individuals. Each responsible for his own acts.
Robert A. Heinlein
Girls are simply wonderful. Just to stand on a corner and watch them going past is delightful. They don't walk. At least not what we do when we walk.

Robert A. Heinlein
Big money isn't hard to come by. All it costs is a lifetime of single-minded devotion to acquiring it and making it grow into more money.
Robert A. Heinlein
We learned not to waste ammo even on warriors except in self-protection
Robert A. Heinlein
Every Congressman, every Senator knows precisely what causes inflation... but can't, [won't] support the drastic reforms to stop it [repeal of the Federal Reserve Act] because it could cost him his job.
Robert A. Heinlein
Oh, you have to charge 'em, Jubal. The marks won't pay attention if it's free.
Robert A. Heinlein
A touchstone to determine the actual worth of an intellectual - find out how he feels about astrology.
Robert A. Heinlein
Why don't they make more science fiction movies? The answer to any question starting, Why don't they- is almost always, Money.
Robert A. Heinlein
In Wilson's scale of evaluations breakfast rated just after life itself and ahead of the chance of immortality.
Robert A. Heinlein
Reason is poor propaganda when opposed by the yammering, unceasing lies of shrewd and evil and self-serving men.
Robert A. Heinlein
Specialisation is for insects!
Robert A. Heinlein
Spacemen die if they stay in one place.
Robert A. Heinlein
Faith is intellectual laziness.
Robert A. Heinlein
Men are expendable women and children are not. A tribe or a nation can lose a high percentage of its men and still pick up the pieces and go on ... as long as the women and children are saved.
Robert A. Heinlein
