Any priest or shaman must be presumed guilty until proved innocent.
Robert A. Heinlein
Nothing uses up alcohol faster than political argument.
Robert A. Heinlein
The bugs are not like us. The Pseudo-Arachnids aren’t even like spiders. They are arthropods who happen to look like a madman’s conception of a giant intelligent spider, but their organization, psychological and economic, is more like that of ants or termites they are communal entities, the ultimate dictatorship of the hive.
Robert A. Heinlein
Why don't they make more science fiction movies? The answer to any question starting, Why don't they- is almost always, Money.

Robert A. Heinlein
Taxes are not levied for the benefit of the taxed.
Robert A. Heinlein
The ordinary bloke will not voluntarily pay for art that leaves him unmoved--if he does pay for it, the money has to be conned out of him, by taxes and such.
Robert A. Heinlein
I'm afraid of coaching, of writer's classes, of writer's magazines, of books on how to write. They give me centipede trouble - you know the yarn about the centipede who was asked how he managed all his feet? He tried to answer, stopped to think about it, and was never able to walk another step.
Robert A. Heinlein
Those who refuse to support and defend the state have no claim to protection by that state. Killing an anarchist or a pacifist should not be considered murder in a legalistic sense. The offense against the state, if any, should be Using deadly weapons within city limits, or Creating a traffic hazard, or other misdemeanor.
Robert A. Heinlein
The meek shall inherit the earth - a 6 foot plot above them.
Robert A. Heinlein
If tempted by something that feels 'altruistic,' examine your motives and root out that self-deception. Then, if you still want to do it, wallow in it!
Robert A. Heinlein
There are two ways of forming an opinion. One is the scientific method the other, the scholastic. To the scientific mind, experimental proof is all-important, and theory is merely a convenience in description, to be junked when it no longer fits. To the academic mind, authority is everything, and facts are junked when they do not fit theory.
Robert A. Heinlein
Every Congressman, every Senator knows precisely what causes inflation... but can't, [won't] support the drastic reforms to stop it [repeal of the Federal Reserve Act] because it could cost him his job.
Robert A. Heinlein
Are you trying to tell all of us we have a bad signal-to-noise ratio?

Don't handicap your children by making their lives easy.
