Robert A. Heinlein
Certainly the game is rigged. Don't let that stop you if you don't bet you can't win.
Robert A. Heinlein
Most 'scientists' are bottle washers and button sorters.
Robert A. Heinlein
A fake fortuneteller can be tolerated. But an authentic soothsayer should be shot on sight. Cassandra did not get half the kicking around she deserved.
Robert A. Heinlein
A poet who reads his verse in public may have other nasty habits.
Robert A. Heinlein
Circumstances can force your hand. So think ahead!
Robert A. Heinlein
