In a dilemma, it is helpful to change any variable, then reexamine the problem.
Robert A. Heinlein
A slave cannot be freed, save he do it himself. Nor can you enslave a free man the very most you can do is kill him!
Robert A. Heinlein
My old man taught me two things: 'Mind own business' and 'Always cut cards.'

He never gave up his search for the Door into Summer.
Robert A. Heinlein
It is a bad sign when the people of a country stop identifying themselves with the country and start identifying with a group. A racial group. Or a religion. Or a language. Anything, as long as it isn't the whole population.
Robert A. Heinlein
A managed democracy is a wonderful thing... for the managers... and its greatest strength is a 'free press' when 'free' is defined as 'responsible' and the managers define what is 'irresponsible'.

Robert A. Heinlein
...a book need never die and should not be killed books were the immortal part of man.
Robert A. Heinlein

Robert A. Heinlein
An armed society is a polite society. Manners are good when one may have to back up his acts with his life.
Robert A. Heinlein
It seems to me that the secret of true happiness in life is to know what you are and then be content to be that, in style, head up and proud, and not yearn to be something else.
Robert A. Heinlein
The whole principle (censorship) is wrong it's like demanding that grown men live on skim milk because the baby can't eat steak.
Robert A. Heinlein
...more than six people cannot agree on anything, three is better and one is perfect for a job that one can do. This is why parliamentary bodies all through history, when they accomplished anything, owed it to a few strong men who dominated the rest.
Robert A. Heinlein
Damnit! Nationalism should stop at the stratosphere!
Robert A. Heinlein
What a wonderful world it is that has girls in it!
