More quotes by Robert A. Heinlein
As it says in Bible, God fights on side of heaviest artillery.
Robert A. Heinlein
Progress isn't made by early risers. It's made by lazy men trying to find easier ways to do something.
Robert A. Heinlein
Damnit! Nationalism should stop at the stratosphere!
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
The most important lesson in the writing trade is that any manuscript is improved if you cut away the fat.
Robert A. Heinlein
- I'm so busy doing what I must do that I don't have time for what I ought to do... and I never get a chance to do what I want to do! - Son, that's universal. The way to keep that recipe from killing you is occasionally to do what you want to do anyhow.
Robert A. Heinlein
From my point of view, a great deal of openly expressed piety is insufferable conceit.
Robert A. Heinlein
There is no way that writers can be tamed and rendered civilized. Or even cured.
Robert A. Heinlein
There is solemn satisfaction in doing the best you can for eight billion people. Perhaps their lives have no cosmic significance, but they have feelings. They can hurt.
Robert A. Heinlein
There ain't no such thing as a free lunch.
Robert A. Heinlein
But, do you know, once you get used to it's rather cute. I mean, if a girl looks alright to start with, she still looks alright with her head smooth.
Robert A. Heinlein
Reason is poor propaganda when opposed by the yammering, unceasing lies of shrewd and evil and self-serving men.
Robert A. Heinlein
Analogy is even slipperier than logic.
Robert A. Heinlein
Sin lies only in hurting others unnecessarily. All other sins are invented nonsense.
Robert A. Heinlein
A brute kills for pleasure. A fool kills from hate.
Robert A. Heinlein
My vocal cords lived their own life, wild and free.
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
Whoring is like military service...okay in the upper brackets, not so good lower down.
Robert A. Heinlein
It was better to live with disappointment and frustration than to live without hope.
Robert A. Heinlein
Those who refuse to support and defend the state have no claim to protection by that state. Killing an anarchist or a pacifist should not be considered murder in a legalistic sense. The offense against the state, if any, should be Using deadly weapons within city limits, or Creating a traffic hazard, or other misdemeanor.
Robert A. Heinlein
