May you live as long as you wish and love as long as you live.
Robert A. Heinlein
Nothing uses up alcohol faster than political argument.
Robert A. Heinlein
I think the major problem in growing up is to become sophisticated without becoming cynical.
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
Specialization is for insects.
Robert A. Heinlein
There are two ways of forming an opinion. One is the scientific method the other, the scholastic. To the scientific mind, experimental proof is all-important, and theory is merely a convenience in description, to be junked when it no longer fits. To the academic mind, authority is everything, and facts are junked when they do not fit theory.
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
The nice thing about citing god as an authority is that you can prove anything you set out to prove.
Robert A. Heinlein
Brainpower is the scarcest commodity and the only one of real value.
Robert A. Heinlein
Die trying is the proudest human thing.
Robert A. Heinlein
It seems to me that the secret of true happiness in life is to know what you are and then be content to be that, in style, head up and proud, and not yearn to be something else.
Robert A. Heinlein
My old man claimed that the more complicated the law the more opportunity for scoundrels.
Robert A. Heinlein
What a wonderful world it is that has girls in it!
Robert A. Heinlein
Long human words (the longer the better) were easy, unmistakable, and rarely changed their meanings . . . but short words were slippery, unpredictable, changing their meanings without any pattern.
Robert A. Heinlein
One man's 'magic' is another man's engineering. 'Supernatural' is a null word.
Robert A. Heinlein
My old man taught me two things: 'Mind own business' and 'Always cut cards.'
Robert A. Heinlein
I never do anything I don't want to do. Nor does anyone, but in my case I am always aware of it.
Robert A. Heinlein
Democracy can't work. Mathematicians, peasants, and animals, that's all there is - so democracy, a theory based on the assumption that mathematicians and peasants are equal, can never work. Wisdom is not additive its maximum is that of the wisest man in a given group.
Robert A. Heinlein
It's better to copulate than not.
Robert A. Heinlein
As it says in Bible, God fights on side of heaviest artillery.
