Come Judgment Day, we may find that Mumbo Jumbo the God of the Congo was the Big Boss all along.
Robert A. Heinlein
There are things which cannot be taught in ten easy lessons, nor popularized for the masses they take years of skull sweat.
Robert A. Heinlein
Budget the luxuries first.

Robert A. Heinlein

Robert A. Heinlein
You can have peace. Or you can have freedom. Don't ever count on having both at once.
Robert A. Heinlein

Analogy is even slipperier than logic.
Robert A. Heinlein
The faith in which I was brought up assured me that I was better than other people I was saved, they were damned.... Our hymns were loaded with arrogance - self-congratulation on how cozy we were with the Almighty and what a high opinion he had of us, what hell everybody else would catch come Judgment Day.
Robert A. Heinlein
There will always be survivors.
Robert A. Heinlein
I never learned from a man who agreed with me.
Robert A. Heinlein
A family reunion is an effective form of birth control.
Robert A. Heinlein
Girls are simply wonderful. Just to stand on a corner and watch them going past is delightful. They don't walk. At least not what we do when we walk. I don't know how to describe it, but it's much more complex and utterly delightful. They don't move just their feet everything moves and in different directions . . . and all of it graceful.
Robert A. Heinlein
Be wary of strong drink. It can make you shoot at tax collectors... and miss.
Robert A. Heinlein
Money is a powerful aphrodisiac but flowers work almost as well.
Robert A. Heinlein
