Robert A. Heinlein
The best things in history are accomplished by people who get tired of being shoved around.
Robert A. Heinlein
Progress isn't made by early risers. It's made by lazy men trying to find easier ways to do something.
Robert A. Heinlein
Between being 'right' and being kind, I know which way I vote.
Robert A. Heinlein
A monarch's neck should always have a noose around it. It keeps him upright.
Robert A. Heinlein
Don't handicap your children by making their lives easy.
Robert A. Heinlein
All human behavior, all human motivations, all man’s hopes and fears, were heavily colored and largely controlled by mankind’s tragic and oddly beautiful pattern of reproduction.
Robert A. Heinlein
