More quotes by Robert A. Heinlein
There is solemn satisfaction in doing the best you can for eight billion people. Perhaps their lives have no cosmic significance, but they have feelings. They can hurt.
Robert A. Heinlein
Never attribute to malice that which can be adequately explained by stupidity. Never underestimate the power of human stupidity.
Robert A. Heinlein
Small change can often be found under seat cushions.
Robert A. Heinlein
Decency is not news it is buried in the obituaries - but it is a force stronger than crime.
Robert A. Heinlein
Progress isn't made by early risers. It's made by lazy men trying to find easier ways to do something.
Robert A. Heinlein

Robert A. Heinlein
You can go wrong by being too skeptical as readily as by being too trusting.
Robert A. Heinlein
Most women are damn fools and children. But they've got more range than we've got. The brave ones are braver, the good ones are better - and the vile ones are viler, for that matter.
Robert A. Heinlein
Faith is intellectual laziness.
Robert A. Heinlein
How can I possibly put a new idea into your heads, if I do not first remove your delusions?
Robert A. Heinlein
A touchstone to determine the actual worth of an intellectual - find out how he feels about astrology.
Robert A. Heinlein
He had learned that close-held secrets could often be cracked by going all the way to the top and there making himself unbearably unpleasant. He knew that such twisting of the tiger's tail was dangerous, for he understood the psychopathology of great power.
Robert A. Heinlein
I believe in my neighbors. I know their faults and I know that their virtues far outweigh their faults.
Robert A. Heinlein
Autobiography is usually honest but it is never truthful.
Robert A. Heinlein
My vocal cords lived their own life, wild and free.
Robert A. Heinlein
Like every living thing its prime characteristic is a blind, unreasoned instinct to survive.
Robert A. Heinlein
