Robert A. Heinlein

Robert A. Heinlein

Robert A. Heinlein
I never learned from a man who agreed with me.
Robert A. Heinlein
Gratitude is a euphemism for resentment.
Robert A. Heinlein
You can go wrong by being too skeptical as readily as by being too trusting.
Robert A. Heinlein
Are you trying to tell all of us we have a bad signal-to-noise ratio?
Robert A. Heinlein
An armed man need not fight.
Robert A. Heinlein
Must be yearning deep in human heart to stop other people from doing as they please.
Robert A. Heinlein
Aside from a cold appreciation of my own genius I felt that I was a modest man.
Robert A. Heinlein
Being privileged to work hard for long hours at something you think is worth doing is the best kind of play.
Robert A. Heinlein
