More quotes by Robert A. Heinlein
Under our system every voter and officeholder is a man who has demonstrated through voluntary and difficult service that he places the welfare of the group ahead of personal advantage.
Robert A. Heinlein
The worst that can possibly have happened to him is death and that we are all in for---if not this morning, then in days, or weeks, or years at most.
Robert A. Heinlein
Die trying is the proudest human thing.
Robert A. Heinlein

Robert A. Heinlein
Never try to have the last word. You might get it.
Robert A. Heinlein
Neither individuals nor corporations have any right to come into court and ask that the clock of history be stopped, or turned back.
Robert A. Heinlein
I would say that my position is not too far from that of Ayn Rand's that I would like to see government reduced to no more than internal police and courts, external armed forces - with the other matters handled otherwise. I'm sick of the way government sticks its nose in everything, now.
Robert A. Heinlein
Hit it! You have to hit it harder than that. Electrons are timid little things but notional you have to let them know who’s boss.
Robert A. Heinlein
If I had found out anything, it was that they could print it faster than I could study it.
Robert A. Heinlein
Nothing uses up alcohol faster than political argument.
Robert A. Heinlein
Be wary of strong drink. It can make you shoot at tax collectors... and miss.
Robert A. Heinlein
Come Judgment Day, we may find that Mumbo Jumbo the God of the Congo was the Big Boss all along.
Robert A. Heinlein
But goodness alone is never enough. A hard, cold wisdom is required for goodness to accomplish good. Goodness without wisdom always accomplishes evil.
Robert A. Heinlein
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
Pain is the basic mechanism built into us by millions of years of evolution which safeguards us by warning when something threatens our survival.
Robert A. Heinlein
Man is not a rational animal, he is a rationalizing animal.
Robert A. Heinlein
