Robert A. Heinlein
I believe in my neighbors. I know their faults and I know that their virtues far outweigh their faults.
Robert A. Heinlein
Specialisation is for insects!
Robert A. Heinlein

Robert A. Heinlein

Robert A. Heinlein
I don't know Who is cranking I'm pleased He doesn't stop.
Robert A. Heinlein
If I had found out anything, it was that they could print it faster than I could study it.
Robert A. Heinlein
Anyone can see a forest fire. Skill lies in sniffing the first smoke.
Robert A. Heinlein
It is a truism that almost any sect, cult, or religion will legislate its creeds into law if it acquires the political power to do so, and will follow it by suppressing opposition, subverting all education to seize early the minds of the young, and by killing, locking up, or driving underground all heretics.
Robert A. Heinlein
You have attributed conditions to villainy that simply result from stupidity.
Robert A. Heinlein
