More quotes by Robert A. Heinlein

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
A poet who reads his verse in public may have other nasty habits.
Robert A. Heinlein
Taxes are not levied for the benefit of the taxed.
Robert A. Heinlein
I don't trust a man who talks about ethics when he is picking my pocket. But if he is acting in his own self-interest and says so, I have usually been able to work out some way to do business with him.
Robert A. Heinlein

Robert A. Heinlein
You're in bad shape when your emotions force you into acts which you know are foolish.
Robert A. Heinlein

Robert A. Heinlein

Robert A. Heinlein
He's as weird as snake's suspenders but sweet as a stolen kiss, too.
Robert A. Heinlein
The more you love, the more you can love - and the more intensely you love.
Robert A. Heinlein
Geniuses and supergeniuses always make their own rules about sex as on everything else they do not accept the monkey customs of their lessers.
Robert A. Heinlein
It is a truism that almost any sect, cult, or religion will legislate its creed into law if it acquires the political power to do so.
Robert A. Heinlein

Robert A. Heinlein
I think perhaps of all the things a police state can do to its citizens, distorting history is possibly the most pernicious.
Robert A. Heinlein
Take big bites. Anything worth doing is worth overdoing.
Robert A. Heinlein
It seems to me that any law that is not enforced and can't be enforced weakens all other laws.
Robert A. Heinlein
The human race divides politically into those who want people to be controlled and those who have no such desire.
Robert A. Heinlein
It is a truism that almost any sect, cult, or religion will legislate its creeds into law if it acquires the political power to do so, and will follow it by suppressing opposition, subverting all education to seize early the minds of the young, and by killing, locking up, or driving underground all heretics.
Robert A. Heinlein
Women will forgive anything. Otherwise, the race would have died out long ago.
Robert A. Heinlein
