Robert A. Heinlein
The human race divides politically into those who want people to be controlled and those who have no such desire.
Robert A. Heinlein
Logic is a feeble reed, friend. Logic proved that airplanes can't fly and that H-bombs won't work and that stones don't fall out of the sky. Logic is a way of saying that anything which didn't happen yesterday won't happen tomorrow.
Robert A. Heinlein
Cheops' Law: Nothing ever gets built on schedule or within budget.
Robert A. Heinlein
Have you ever known me to be rude to a lady? I have seen you be intentionally rude to a woman. I have never seen you be rude to a lady.
