Robert A. Heinlein
The meek shall inherit the earth - a 6 foot plot above them.
Robert A. Heinlein
Love is that condition in which the happiness of another person is essential to your own.
Robert A. Heinlein

Robert A. Heinlein
He's an honest politician--he stays bought.

If it can't be expressed in figures, it is not science it is opinion. It has long been known that one horse can run faster than another - but which one? Differences are crucial.
Robert A. Heinlein
Writing is not necessarily something to be ashamed of, but do it in private and wash your hands afterwards.
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
It is a truism that almost any sect, cult, or religion will legislate its creeds into law if it acquires the political power to do so, and will follow it by suppressing opposition, subverting all education to seize early the minds of the young, and by killing, locking up, or driving underground all heretics.
Robert A. Heinlein
Any priest or shaman must be presumed guilty until proved innocent.
Robert A. Heinlein
An armed society is a polite society. Manners are good when one may have to back up his acts with his life.
Robert A. Heinlein
If you've got the truth you can demonstrate it. Talking doesn't prove it.
Robert A. Heinlein
Random chance was not a sufficient explanation of the Universe---in fact, random chance was not sufficient to explain random chance the pot could not hold itself.
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
At one time kings were anointed by Deity, so the problem was to see to it that Deity chose the right candidate. In this age the myth is the will of the people ... but the problem changes only superficially.
Robert A. Heinlein
Contemplation must bring forth right action in order to permit further growth.
Robert A. Heinlein
There is no such thing as luck there is only adequate or inadequate preparation to cope with a statistical universe.
Robert A. Heinlein
We came here for a small, informal meeting. We find you've turned it into a circus. Well, if you're going to have a circus, you've got to have elephants.
Robert A. Heinlein
