More quotes by Robert A. Heinlein
I believe in the honest craft of workmen.
Robert A. Heinlein
Death is the lot of us all, and the only way that the human race has ever conquered death is by treating it with contempt. By living every golden minute as if one had all Eternity.
Robert A. Heinlein
Heroism' often consists in keeping your head in an emergency and doing the best you can with what you have instead of panicking and being shot in the tail. People who fight this way win more battles than do intentional heroes a glory hound often throws away the lives of his mates as well as his own.
Robert A. Heinlein
Sense is never common.
Robert A. Heinlein

Robert A. Heinlein
A skunk is better company than a person who prides himself on being 'frank'.
Robert A. Heinlein
There is no way that writers can be tamed and rendered civilized or even cured. The only solution known to science is to provide the patient with an isolation room, where he can endure the acute stages in private and where food can be poked in to him with a stick.
Robert A. Heinlein
Civilians are like beans you buy 'em as needed for any job which merely requires skill and savvy. But you can't buy fighting spirit.
Robert A. Heinlein
The best things in history are accomplished by people who get tired of being shoved around.
Robert A. Heinlein
There is no such thing as luck there is only adequate or inadequate preparation to cope with a statistical universe.
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
...I am opposed to all attempts to license or restrict the arming of individuals... I consider such laws a violation of civil liberty, subversive of democratic political institutions, and self-defeating in their purpose.
Robert A. Heinlein
The stars incline, but do not impel.
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
Age does not bring wisdom... but it does give perspective... and the saddest sight of all is to see, far behind you, temptations you've resisted.
Robert A. Heinlein
Whores perform the same function as priests, but far more thoroughly.
Robert A. Heinlein
