Under what circumstances is it moral for a group to do that which is not moral for a member of that group to do alone?
Robert A. Heinlein
In terms of morals there is no such thing as ‘state.’ Just men. Individuals. Each responsible for his own acts.
Robert A. Heinlein
It seems to me that the secret of true happiness in life is to know what you are and then be content to be that, in style, head up and proud, and not yearn to be something else.
Robert A. Heinlein
