Robert A. Heinlein

Robert A. Heinlein
There are two ways of forming an opinion. One is the scientific method the other, the scholastic.

Robert A. Heinlein

Robert A. Heinlein
If men were the automatons that behaviorists claim they are, the behaviorist psychologists could not have invented the amazing nonsense called 'behaviorist psychology.'
Robert A. Heinlein
Anything which is physically possible can always be made financially possible money is a bugaboo of small minds.
Robert A. Heinlein
There are things which cannot be taught in ten easy lessons, nor popularized for the masses they take years of skull sweat.
Robert A. Heinlein
That old saw about the early bird just proves that the worm should have stayed in bed.
Robert A. Heinlein
