An armed man need not fight.
Robert A. Heinlein
Don't handicap your children by making their lives easy.
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
Take sides! Always take sides! You will sometimes be wrong - but the man who refuses to take sides must always be wrong.
Robert A. Heinlein
'Savage' describes a cultural condition, not a degree of intelligence.
Robert A. Heinlein
Teaching causes people to go into situations from which they cannot escape, except by thinking. Do not handicap children by making their lives easy.
Robert A. Heinlein

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
The Stone trembled and threw herself outward bound, toward Saturn. In her train followed hundreds and thousands and hundreds of thousands of thousands of restless, rolling Stones . . . to Saturn . . . to Uranus, to Pluto . . . rolling on out to the stars . . . outward bound to the ends of the Universe.
Robert A. Heinlein
My vocal cords lived their own life, wild and free.
Robert A. Heinlein
How anybody expects a man to stay in business with every two-bit wowser in the country claiming a veto over what we can say and can't say and what we can show and what we can't show - it's enough to make you throw up. The whole principle is wrong it's like demanding that grown men live on skim milk because the baby can't eat steak.
Robert A. Heinlein
The intelligent fights only when he must and never for sport.
Robert A. Heinlein
War is not violence and killing, pure and simple war is controlled violence, for a purpose. The purpose of war is to support your government's decisions by force. The purpose is never to kill the enemy just to be killing him but to make him do what you want him to do. Not killing... but controlled and purposeful violence.
Robert A. Heinlein
Geniuses and supergeniuses always make their own rules about sex as on everything else they do not accept the monkey customs of their lessers.
Robert A. Heinlein
Heroism' often consists in keeping your head in an emergency and doing the best you can with what you have instead of panicking and being shot in the tail. People who fight this way win more battles than do intentional heroes a glory hound often throws away the lives of his mates as well as his own.
Robert A. Heinlein
If we blow ourselves up we will do it by misapplication of science if we manage to keep from blowing ourselves up, it will be through intelligent application of science.
Robert A. Heinlein
Television leaves no external scars.
Robert A. Heinlein
Never encourage a man to cook breakfast it cause him to wonder if women are necessary.
