More quotes by Robert A. Heinlein
Some things, the more you understand the more you loathe them.
Robert A. Heinlein
Patriotism is not 'my country right or wrong' patriotism means loving the ideals for which America stands and having the courage to speak up when these ideals are distorted for personal or political gain. The American government was instituted to be the servant of the people, not our master.
Robert A. Heinlein
Nothing of value is free. Even the breath of life is purchased at birth only through gasping effort and pain.
Robert A. Heinlein
Have you ever noticed how much they look like orchids? lovely!
Robert A. Heinlein
By the data to date, there is only one animal in the Galaxy dangerous to man -- man himself. So he must supply his own indispensable competition. He has no enemy to help him.
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
In a dilemma, it is helpful to change any variable, then reexamine the problem.
Robert A. Heinlein
When the need arises - and it does - you must be able to shoot your own dog. Don't farm it out — that doesn't make it nicer, it makes it worse.
Robert A. Heinlein
My old man taught me two things: 'Mind own business' and 'Always cut cards.'
Robert A. Heinlein
An armed man need not fight.
Robert A. Heinlein
A motion to adjourn is always in order.
Robert A. Heinlein
I came, I saw, she conquered. The original Latin seems to have been garbled.
Robert A. Heinlein
I think perhaps of all the things a police state can do to its citizens, distorting history is possibly the most pernicious.
Robert A. Heinlein
A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed. - Second Amendment to the Constitution An armed society is a polite society.
Robert A. Heinlein
If a thing's worth doing, it's worth overdoing. (Lazarus Long)
Robert A. Heinlein
God split himself into a myriad parts that he might have friends. This may not be true, but it sounds good, and is no sillier than any other theology.
Robert A. Heinlein
It was better to live with disappointment and frustration than to live without hope.
Robert A. Heinlein
Darling, a true lady takes off her dignity with her clothes and does her whorish best. At other times you can be as modest and dignified as your persona requires.
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
If I had found out anything, it was that they could print it faster than I could study it.
Robert A. Heinlein
