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
Never underestimate the power of human stupidity.
Robert A. Heinlein
All normal human beings have soi-disant mixed-up glands. The race is divided into two parts: those who know this and those who do not.
Robert A. Heinlein
If you pray hard enough, water will run uphill. How hard? Why, hard enough to make water run uphill, of course!
Robert A. Heinlein
Tilting at windmills hurts you more than the windmills.
