More quotes by Robert A. Heinlein
I'm not trying to frighten you, but only a fool makes predictions based on ignorance I am not that sort of fool.
Robert A. Heinlein
Aside from a cold appreciation of my own genius I felt that I was a modest man.
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
I wanted the feeling of romance and the sense of wonder I had known as a kid. I wanted the world to be what they had promised me it was going to be - instead of the tawdry, lousy fouled-up mess it is.
Robert A. Heinlein
The saddest thing about ephemerals was that their little lives rarely held time enough for love.
Robert A. Heinlein
Sovereign, like love, means anything you want it to mean it's a word in dictionary between sober and sozzled.
Robert A. Heinlein
If it can't be expressed in figures, it is not science it is opinion. It has long been known that one horse can run faster than another - but which one? Differences are crucial.
Robert A. Heinlein
Teaching causes people to go into situations from which they cannot escape, except by thinking. Do not handicap children by making their lives easy.
Robert A. Heinlein
You can't conquer a free man the most you can do is kill him.
Robert A. Heinlein
With eternity to draw on there could be no reason for hurrying - 'hurry' was not a concept in Martian.
Robert A. Heinlein
Each generation thinks it invented sex each generation is totally mistaken. Anything along that line today was commonplace both in Pompeii and in Victorian England the differences lie only in the degree of coverup - if any.
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
In a family argument, if it turns out you are right, apologize at once.
Robert A. Heinlein
My old man claimed that the more complicated the law the more opportunity for scoundrels.
Robert A. Heinlein
I would say that my position is not too far from that of Ayn Rand's that I would like to see government reduced to no more than internal police and courts, external armed forces - with the other matters handled otherwise. I'm sick of the way government sticks its nose in everything, now.
Robert A. Heinlein
God created men to test the souls of women.
Robert A. Heinlein
Don't tell me violence doesn't solve anything. Look at Carthage.
Robert A. Heinlein
The future is better than the past. Despite the crepe hangers, romanticists, and anti-intellectuals, the world steadily grows better because the human mind, applying itself to environment, makes it better. With hands ... with tools ... with horse sense and science and engineering.
Robert A. Heinlein
It may take endless wars and unbearable population pressure to force-feed a technology to the point where it can cope with space. In the universe, space travel may be the normal birth pangs of an otherwise dying race. A test. Some races pass, some fail.
Robert A. Heinlein
The more you love, the more you can love - and the more intensely you love.
Robert A. Heinlein
