Robert A. Heinlein
A managed democracy is a wonderful thing... for the managers... and its greatest strength is a 'free press' when 'free' is defined as 'responsible' and the managers define what is 'irresponsible'.
Robert A. Heinlein
It is a bad sign when the people of a country stop identifying themselves with the country and start identifying with a group. A racial group. Or a religion. Or a language. Anything, as long as it isn't the whole population.
Robert A. Heinlein

Robert A. Heinlein
Anyone who considers protocol unimportant has never dealt with a cat.
Robert A. Heinlein
Are you trying to tell all of us we have a bad signal-to-noise ratio?
Robert A. Heinlein
Certainly the game is rigged. Don't let that stop you if you don't bet you can't win.
Robert A. Heinlein
A dying culture invariably exhibits personal rudeness. Bad manners. Lack of consideration for others in minor matters. A loss of politeness, of gentle manners, is more significant than is a riot.
Robert A. Heinlein
Premenstrual Syndrome: Just before their periods women behave the way men do all the time.
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
A zest for living must include a willingness to die.
Robert A. Heinlein
Anyone who can worship a trinity and insist that his religion is a monotheism can believe anything.
Robert A. Heinlein
What a wonderful world it is that has girls in it!
