More quotes by Robert A. Heinlein
You don’t pay back, you pay forward.
Robert A. Heinlein
Patriotism is not sentimental nonsense. Nor something dreamed up by demagogues. Patriotism is as necessary a part of man's evolutionary equipment as are his eyes, as useful to the race as eyes are to the individual.
Robert A. Heinlein
'Savage' describes a cultural condition, not a degree of intelligence.
Robert A. Heinlein
One man's theology is another man's belly laugh.
Robert A. Heinlein
History does not record anywhere or at any time a religion that has any rational basis.
Robert A. Heinlein
Daughters can spend ten percent more than a man can make in any usual occupation. That’s a law of nature, to be known henceforth as ‘Harshaw’s Law.
Robert A. Heinlein
The whole principle (censorship) is wrong it's like demanding that grown men live on skim milk because the baby can't eat steak.
Robert A. Heinlein
Mighty little force is needed to control a man whose mind has been hoodwinked contrariwise, no amount of force can control a free man, a man whose mind is free. No, not the rack, not fission bombs, not anything - you can't conquer a free man the most you can do is kill him.
Robert A. Heinlein
The killer looked up as the bullet hit him. He looked as if he were puzzled by some strange occurence, being too freshly dead to be aware of it.
Robert A. Heinlein
The greatest productive force is human selfishness.
Robert A. Heinlein
Neither individuals nor corporations have any right to come into court and ask that the clock of history be stopped, or turned back.
Robert A. Heinlein
Autobiography is usually honest but it is never truthful.
Robert A. Heinlein
I have never been able to see life as anything but a vast complicated practical joke, and it's better to laugh than cry.
Robert A. Heinlein
If men were the automatons that behaviorists claim they are, the behaviorist psychologists could not have invented the amazing nonsense called 'behaviorist psychology.'
Robert A. Heinlein
To permit irresponsible authority is to sell disaster.
Robert A. Heinlein
Spacemen - men who work in space, pilots and jetmen and astrogators and such - are men who like a few million miles of elbow room.
Robert A. Heinlein
Every Congressman, every Senator knows precisely what causes inflation... but can't, [won't] support the drastic reforms to stop it [repeal of the Federal Reserve Act] because it could cost him his job.
Robert A. Heinlein
There are things which cannot be taught in ten easy lessons, nor popularized for the masses they take years of skull sweat.
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
Cheops' Law: Nothing ever gets built on schedule or within budget.
