Never tease an old dog he might have one bite left.
Robert A. Heinlein
Girls are simply wonderful. Just to stand on a corner and watch them going past is delightful. They don't walk. At least not what we do when we walk. I don't know how to describe it, but it's much more complex and utterly delightful. They don't move just their feet everything moves and in different directions . . . and all of it graceful.
Robert A. Heinlein
To stay young requires unceasing cultivation of the ability to unlearn old falsehoods.
Robert A. Heinlein
Must be a yearning deep in human heart to stop other people from doing as they please. Rules, laws - always for other fellow. A murky part of us, something we had before we came down out of trees, and failed to shuck when we stood up.
Robert A. Heinlein
If you pray hard enough, water will run uphill. How hard? Why, hard enough to make water run uphill, of course!
Robert A. Heinlein
Men are expendable women and children are not. A tribe or a nation can lose a high percentage of its men and still pick up the pieces and go on ... as long as the women and children are saved.
Robert A. Heinlein
Art is the process of evoking pity and terror, which is not abstract at all but very human. What the self-styled modern artists are doing is a sort of unemotional pseudointellectual masturbation . . . whereas creative art is more like intercourse, in which the artist must seduce -- render emotional -- his audience, each time.

Must be yearning deep in human heart to stop other people from doing as they please.
Robert A. Heinlein
The more you love, the more you can love - and the more intensely you love.
Robert A. Heinlein
Democracy is based on the assumption that a million men are wiser than one man. How's that again? I missed something.
Robert A. Heinlein
Specialisation is for insects!
Robert A. Heinlein
Nobody has ever seen an electron. Nor a thought. You can't see a thought, you can't measure, weigh, nor taste it- but thoughts are the most real things in the Galaxy.
Robert A. Heinlein
I have never been impressed by the formal schools of ethics.
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
Selfishness is the bedrock on which all moral behavior starts and it can be immoral only when it conflicts with a higher moral imperative.
Robert A. Heinlein
There will always be survivors.
Robert A. Heinlein
Happiness consists in getting enough sleep. Just that, nothing more.
Robert A. Heinlein
Women will forgive anything. Otherwise, the race would have died out long ago.
Robert A. Heinlein
The human race divides politically into those who want people to be controlled and those who have no such desire.
Robert A. Heinlein
Nowhere on Earth was sex so vigorously suppressed as in America--and nowhere else was there such a deep interest in it.
Robert A. Heinlein
