An armed man need not fight.
Robert A. Heinlein
You have to give an editor something to change, or he gets fretful. After he pees in it, he likes the flavor better, so he buys it.
Robert A. Heinlein
Some people insist that mediocre is better than best. They delight in clipping wings because they themselves can't fly. They despise brains because they have none.
Robert A. Heinlein
Stupidity is the only natural capital offense.
Robert A. Heinlein
Your enemy is never a villain in his own eyes. Keep this in mind it may offer a way to make him your friend. If not, you can kill him without hate — and quickly.
Robert A. Heinlein
A fake fortuneteller can be tolerated. But an authentic soothsayer should be shot on sight. Cassandra did not get half the kicking around she deserved.
Robert A. Heinlein
The Stone trembled and threw herself outward bound, toward Saturn. In her train followed hundreds and thousands and hundreds of thousands of thousands of restless, rolling Stones . . . to Saturn . . . to Uranus, to Pluto . . . rolling on out to the stars . . . outward bound to the ends of the Universe.
Robert A. Heinlein
If you pray hard enough, water will run uphill. How hard? Why, hard enough to make water run uphill, of course!
Robert A. Heinlein
Do not confuse duty with what other people expect of you they are utterly different. Duty is a debt you owe to yourself to fulfill obligations you have assumed voluntarily. Paying that debt can entail anything from years of patient work to instant willingness to die. Difficult it may be, but the reward is self-respect.
Robert A. Heinlein
Expertise in one field does not carry over into other fields. But experts often think so. The narrower their field of knowledge the more likely they are to think so.
Robert A. Heinlein
If you've got the truth you can demonstrate it. Talking doesn't prove it.
Robert A. Heinlein
The more you love, the more you can love - and the more intensely you love.
Robert A. Heinlein
Geniuses and supergeniuses always make their own rules about sex as on everything else they do not accept the monkey customs of their lessers.
Robert A. Heinlein
Television leaves no external scars.
Robert A. Heinlein
Money is a powerful aphrodisiac but flowers work almost as well.
Robert A. Heinlein
No matter where or what, there are makers, takers, and fakers.
Robert A. Heinlein
He's as weird as snake's suspenders but sweet as a stolen kiss, too.
Robert A. Heinlein
There is no safety this side of the grave
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
I never learned from a man who agreed with me.
Robert A. Heinlein
