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
Anyone can see a forest fire. Skill lies in sniffing the first smoke.
Robert A. Heinlein
It's amazing how much 'mature wisdom' resembles being too tired.
Robert A. Heinlein
