More quotes by 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
How you behave toward cats here below determines your status in Heaven.
Robert A. Heinlein
Stupidity cannot be cured. Stupidity is the only universal capital crime the sentence is death. There is no appeal, and execution is carried out automatically and without pity.
Robert A. Heinlein
Take big bites. Anything worth doing is worth overdoing.
Robert A. Heinlein
I'm afraid of coaching, of writer's classes, of writer's magazines, of books on how to write. They give me centipede trouble - you know the yarn about the centipede who was asked how he managed all his feet? He tried to answer, stopped to think about it, and was never able to walk another step.
Robert A. Heinlein
A brute kills for pleasure. A fool kills from hate.
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
Teaching causes people to go into situations from which they cannot escape, except by thinking. Do not handicap children by making their lives easy.
Robert A. Heinlein
Boats and ships are female because they are beautiful, lovable, expensive and unpredictable.
Robert A. Heinlein
If an elderly respected expert in a given field tells you that something can be done he is almost certainly right. If an elderly respected expert in a given field tells you that something is impossible, he is almost certainly wrong.
Robert A. Heinlein
I took up writing because I needed money. And I continued to write because it's safer than stealing and easier than working.
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
There were many, many times thereafter that Don regretted having enlisted - but so has every man who ever volunteered for military service.
Robert A. Heinlein
Reason is poor propaganda when opposed by the yammering, unceasing lies of shrewd and evil and self-serving men.
Robert A. Heinlein
My old man taught me two things: 'Mind own business' and 'Always cut cards.'
Robert A. Heinlein
Mighty little force is needed to control a man whose mind has been hoodwinked contrariwise, no amount of force can control a free man, a man whose mind is free. No, not the rack, not fission bombs, not anything - you can't conquer a free man the most you can do is kill him.
Robert A. Heinlein
The meek shall inherit the earth - a 6 foot plot above them.
Robert A. Heinlein
There are no dangerous weapons there are only dangerous men.
Robert A. Heinlein
Peace is a condition in which no civilian pays any attention to military casualties which do not achieve page-one, lead-story prominence-unless that civilian is a close relative of one of the casualties. But, if there ever was a time in history when peace meant that there was no fighting going on, I have been unable to find out about it.

But, do you know, once you get used to it's rather cute. I mean, if a girl looks alright to start with, she still looks alright with her head smooth.
