More quotes by Robert A. Heinlein
Rarest of all is the man who can and does reason at all times, quickly, accurately, inclusively, despite hope or fear or bodily distress, without egocentric bias or thalmic disturbance, with correct memory, with clear distinction between fact, assumption, and non-fact.
Robert A. Heinlein
What is supposed to happen in a democracy is that each sovereign citizen will always vote in the public interest for the safety and welfare of all. But what does happen is that he votes his own self-interest as he sees it... which for the majority translates as 'Bread and Circuses'.
Robert A. Heinlein
There ain't no such thing as a free lunch.
Robert A. Heinlein

Robert A. Heinlein
When you're rich, you don't have friends you just have endless acquaintances.
Robert A. Heinlein
Love is that condition in which the happiness of another person is essential to your own... Jealousy is a disease, love is a healthy condition. The immature mind often mistakes one for the other, or assumes that the greater the love, the greater the jealousy.
Robert A. Heinlein
It's better to copulate than not.
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
Free will is a golden thread running through the frozen matrix of fixed events.
Robert A. Heinlein
Humans hardly ever learn from the experience of others. They learn - when they do, which isn't often - on their own, the hard way.
Robert A. Heinlein
What a wonderful world it is that has girls in it!
Robert A. Heinlein
History does not record anywhere or at any time a religion that has any rational basis.
Robert A. Heinlein
It was better to live with disappointment and frustration than to live without hope.
Robert A. Heinlein
