More quotes by Robert A. Heinlein
Faith strikes me as intellectual laziness, but I don't argue with it - especially as I am rarely in a position to prove that it is mistaken. Negative proof is usually impossible.
Robert A. Heinlein
Men are not potatoes!
Robert A. Heinlein
When you vote, you are exercising political authority, you're using force. And force, my friends, is violence. The supreme authority from which all other authorities are derived.
Robert A. Heinlein
The Earth is just too small and fragile a basket for the human race to keep all its eggs in.
Robert A. Heinlein
Patriotism is not sentimental nonsense. Nor something dreamed up by demagogues. Patriotism is as necessary a part of man's evolutionary equipment as are his eyes, as useful to the race as eyes are to the individual.
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
Most gods have the manners and morals of a spoiled child.
Robert A. Heinlein
If a thing's worth doing, it's worth overdoing. (Lazarus Long)
Robert A. Heinlein

Robert A. Heinlein
You have to give an editor something to change, or he gets fretful. After he pees in it, he likes the flavor better, so he buys it.
Robert A. Heinlein
Sense is never common.
Robert A. Heinlein
The killer looked up as the bullet hit him. He looked as if he were puzzled by some strange occurence, being too freshly dead to be aware of it.
Robert A. Heinlein
The capacity of the human mind for swallowing nonsense and spewing it forth in violent and repressive action has never yet been plumbed.
Robert A. Heinlein
Must be a yearning deep in human heart to stop other people from doing as they please. Rules, laws - always for other fellow. A murky part of us, something we had before we came down out of trees, and failed to shuck when we stood up.
Robert A. Heinlein
Democracy can survive anything except Democrats
Robert A. Heinlein
The faith in which I was brought up assured me that I was better than other people I was saved, they were damned.... Our hymns were loaded with arrogance - self-congratulation on how cozy we were with the Almighty and what a high opinion he had of us, what hell everybody else would catch come Judgment Day.
Robert A. Heinlein
Contemplation must bring forth right action in order to permit further growth.
Robert A. Heinlein
