Robert A. Heinlein
Faith strikes me as intellectual laziness, but I don't argue with it - especially as I am rarely in a position to prove that it is mistaken. Negative proof is usually impossible.
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
Never force an idea you'll abort it if you do.
Robert A. Heinlein
Aside from a cold appreciation of my own genius I felt that I was a modest man.
Robert A. Heinlein
Love is that condition in which the happiness of another person is essential to your own.
