More quotes by 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
There is no way that writers can be tamed and rendered civilized or even cured. The only solution known to science is to provide the patient with an isolation room, where he can endure the acute stages in private and where food can be poked in to him with a stick.
Robert A. Heinlein
May you live as long as you wish and love as long as you live.
Robert A. Heinlein

Robert A. Heinlein

A society that gets rid of all its troublemakers goes downhill.
Robert A. Heinlein
It is impossible for anyone to be responsible for another person's behavior. The most you or any leader can do is to encourage each one to be responsible for himself.
Robert A. Heinlein
Never appeal to a man's 'better nature.' He may not have one. Invoking his self-interest gives you more leverage.
Robert A. Heinlein
A skunk is better company than a person who prides himself on being 'frank'.
Robert A. Heinlein
Neither individuals nor corporations have any right to come into court and ask that the clock of history be stopped, or turned back.
Robert A. Heinlein
Stupidity cannot be cured. Stupidity is the only universal capital crime the sentence is death. There is no appeal, and execution is carried out automatically and without pity.
Robert A. Heinlein
He never gave up his search for the Door into Summer.
Robert A. Heinlein
The commonest weakness of our race is our ability to rationalize our most selfish purposes.
Robert A. Heinlein
