Robert A. Heinlein

Robert A. Heinlein
You can have peace. Or you can have freedom. Don't ever count on having both at once.
Robert A. Heinlein
Oh, you have to charge 'em, Jubal. The marks won't pay attention if it's free.
Robert A. Heinlein
We learned not to waste ammo even on warriors except in self-protection
Robert A. Heinlein
A slave cannot be freed, save he do it himself. Nor can you enslave a free man the very most you can do is kill him!
