More quotes by Robert A. Heinlein
Never frighten a little man. He'll kill you.
Robert A. Heinlein
Oh, you have to charge 'em, Jubal. The marks won't pay attention if it's free.
Robert A. Heinlein
Another ingredient in a happy marriage: Budget the luxuries first!
Robert A. Heinlein
Being generous is inborn being altruistic is a learned perversity. No resemblance --
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
Specialisation is for insects!
Robert A. Heinlein
Never appeal to a man's 'better nature.' He may not have one. Invoking his self-interest gives you more leverage.
Robert A. Heinlein
It is a truism that almost any sect, cult, or religion will legislate its creeds into law if it acquires the political power to do so, and will follow it by suppressing opposition, subverting all education to seize early the minds of the young, and by killing, locking up, or driving underground all heretics.
Robert A. Heinlein
Love is that condition in which the happiness of another person is essential to your own... Jealousy is a disease, love is a healthy condition. The immature mind often mistakes one for the other, or assumes that the greater the love, the greater the jealousy.
Robert A. Heinlein
A committee is a life form with six or more legs and no brain.
Robert A. Heinlein
You don’t pay back, you pay forward.
Robert A. Heinlein
Logic is a feeble reed, friend. Logic proved that airplanes can't fly and that H-bombs won't work and that stones don't fall out of the sky. Logic is a way of saying that anything which didn't happen yesterday won't happen tomorrow.
Robert A. Heinlein
Pacifism is a shifty doctrine under which a man accepts the benefits of the social group without being willing to pay and claims a halo for his dishonesty.
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
Never underestimate the power of human stupidity.
Robert A. Heinlein
He's as weird as snake's suspenders but sweet as a stolen kiss, too.
Robert A. Heinlein
The faith in which I was brought up assured me that I was better than other people I was saved, they were damned.... Our hymns were loaded with arrogance - self-congratulation on how cozy we were with the Almighty and what a high opinion he had of us, what hell everybody else would catch come Judgment Day.
Robert A. Heinlein
Anything which is physically possible can always be made financially possible money is a bugaboo of small minds.
Robert A. Heinlein
One man's 'magic' is another man's engineering. 'Supernatural' is a null word.
Robert A. Heinlein
The more you love, the more you can love - and the more intensely you love.
