More quotes by 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
Being privileged to work hard for long hours at something you think is worth doing is the best kind of play.
Robert A. Heinlein
Why don't they make more science fiction movies? The answer to any question starting, Why don't they- is almost always, Money.
Robert A. Heinlein
What a wonderful world it is that has girls in it!
Robert A. Heinlein
Mighty little force is needed to control a man whose mind has been hoodwinked contrariwise, no amount of force can control a free man, a man whose mind is free. No, not the rack, not fission bombs, not anything - you can't conquer a free man the most you can do is kill him.
Robert A. Heinlein
To permit irresponsible authority is to sell disaster.
Robert A. Heinlein
Never try to have the last word. You might get it.
Robert A. Heinlein
In the absence of clearly-defined goals, we become strangely loyal to performing daily trivia until ultimately we become enslaved by it.
Robert A. Heinlein
I don't see why human people make such a heavy trip out of sex. It isn't anything complex, it is simply the best thing in life, even better than food.
Robert A. Heinlein
One man's 'magic' is another man's engineering. 'Supernatural' is a null word.
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
In a dilemma, it is helpful to change any variable, then reexamine the problem.
Robert A. Heinlein
Democracy can't work. Mathematicians, peasants, and animals, that's all there is - so democracy, a theory based on the assumption that mathematicians and peasants are equal, can never work. Wisdom is not additive its maximum is that of the wisest man in a given group.
Robert A. Heinlein
Gratitude is a euphemism for resentment.
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
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
Peace is a condition in which no civilian pays any attention to military casualties which do not achieve page-one, lead-story prominence-unless that civilian is a close relative of one of the casualties. But, if there ever was a time in history when peace meant that there was no fighting going on, I have been unable to find out about it.
Robert A. Heinlein
First you must learn to control your self. The rest follows. Blessed is he who knows himself and commands himself, for the world is his and love and happiness and peace walk with him wherever he goes.
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
We each have a moral obligation to conserve and preserve beauty in this world there is none to waste.
Robert A. Heinlein
