More quotes by Robert A. Heinlein
Selfishness is the bedrock on which all moral behavior starts and it can be immoral only when it conflicts with a higher moral imperative.
Robert A. Heinlein
Death is an old friend I know him well. I lived with him, ate with him, slept with him to meet him again does not frighten me death is as necessary as birth, as happy in its own way.
Robert A. Heinlein
Everything is theoretically impossible, until it is done.
Robert A. Heinlein

Robert A. Heinlein
In the absence of clearly-defined goals, we become strangely loyal to performing daily trivia until ultimately we become enslaved by it.
Robert A. Heinlein

Robert A. Heinlein
Men are not potatoes!
Robert A. Heinlein
Darling, a true lady takes off her dignity with her clothes and does her whorish best. At other times you can be as modest and dignified as your persona requires.
Robert A. Heinlein
A committee is a life form with six or more legs and no brain.
Robert A. Heinlein
- I'm so busy doing what I must do that I don't have time for what I ought to do... and I never get a chance to do what I want to do! - Son, that's universal. The way to keep that recipe from killing you is occasionally to do what you want to do anyhow.
Robert A. Heinlein
Money is a powerful aphrodisiac but flowers work almost as well.
Robert A. Heinlein
The commonest weakness of our race is our ability to rationalize our most selfish purposes.
Robert A. Heinlein
Never do today what you can put off till tomorrow if tomorrow might improve the odds.
Robert A. Heinlein
