More quotes by Robert A. Heinlein
If I had a Boy Scout I could make a fire by rubbing his hind legs together.
Robert A. Heinlein
I would say that my position is not too far from that of Ayn Rand's that I would like to see government reduced to no more than internal police and courts, external armed forces - with the other matters handled otherwise. I'm sick of the way government sticks its nose in everything, now.
Robert A. Heinlein
I had taken a partner once before—but, damnation, no matter how many times you get your fingers burned, you have to trust people. Otherwise you are a hermit in a cave, sleeping with one eye open.
Robert A. Heinlein
Never pick up a stray kitten . . . unless you've already made up your mind to be owned by it.
Robert A. Heinlein
Never try to outstubborn a cat.
Robert A. Heinlein
Age does not bring wisdom... but it does give perspective... and the saddest sight of all is to see, far behind you, temptations you've resisted.
Robert A. Heinlein
Nobody has ever seen an electron. Nor a thought. You can't see a thought, you can't measure, weigh, nor taste it- but thoughts are the most real things in the Galaxy.
Robert A. Heinlein

Robert A. Heinlein

Robert A. Heinlein
Big money isn't hard to come by. All it costs is a lifetime of single-minded devotion to acquiring it and making it grow into more money.
Robert A. Heinlein
The meek shall inherit the earth - a 6 foot plot above them.
Robert A. Heinlein
The hardest part of gaining any new idea is sweeping out the false idea occupying that niche.
Robert A. Heinlein
Money is truthful. If a man speaks of his honor, make him pay cash.
Robert A. Heinlein
Contemplation must bring forth right action in order to permit further growth.
Robert A. Heinlein
When you vote, you are exercising political authority, you're using force. And force, my friends, is violence. The supreme authority from which all other authorities are derived.
Robert A. Heinlein
Random chance is not sufficient to explain random chance. ~Jubal Harshaw
Robert A. Heinlein
Any priest or shaman must be presumed guilty until proved innocent.
Robert A. Heinlein
Once upon a time there was a Martian named Valentine Michael Smith.
Robert A. Heinlein
A committee is a life form with six or more legs and no brain.
Robert A. Heinlein
Nowhere on Earth was sex so vigorously suppressed as in America--and nowhere else was there such a deep interest in it.
