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
Your enemy is never a villain in his own eyes. Keep this in mind it may offer a way to make him your friend. If not, you can kill him without hate — and quickly.
Robert A. Heinlein
A brute kills for pleasure. A fool kills from hate.
Robert A. Heinlein
Time is your total capital, and the minutes of your life are painfully few.
Robert A. Heinlein
