Robert A. Heinlein
Nobody has ever seen an electron. Nor a thought. You can't see a thought, you can't measure, weigh, nor taste it- but thoughts are the most real things in the Galaxy.
Robert A. Heinlein
Democracy's worst fault is that its leaders are likely to reflect the faults and virtues of their constituents.
Robert A. Heinlein

Robert A. Heinlein
God created men to test the souls of women.
Robert A. Heinlein
A managed democracy is a wonderful thing... for the managers... and its greatest strength is a 'free press' when 'free' is defined as 'responsible' and the managers define what is 'irresponsible'.
Robert A. Heinlein
Money is a powerful aphrodisiac but flowers work almost as well.
Robert A. Heinlein
