Cheops' Law: Nothing ever gets built on schedule or within budget.
Robert A. Heinlein
Girls are simply wonderful. Just to stand on a corner and watch them going past is delightful. They don't walk. At least not what we do when we walk. I don't know how to describe it, but it's much more complex and utterly delightful. They don't move just their feet everything moves and in different directions . . . and all of it graceful.

Robert A. Heinlein
An animal so poor in spirit that he won't even fight on his own behalf is already an evolutionary dead end the best he can do for his breed is to crawl off and die, and not pass on his defective genes.
Robert A. Heinlein
Faith strikes me as intellectual laziness, but I don't argue with it - especially as I am rarely in a position to prove that it is mistaken. Negative proof is usually impossible.
Robert A. Heinlein
Most neuroses and some psychoses can be traced to the unnecessary and unhealthy habit of daily wallowing in the troubles and sins of five billion strangers.
Robert A. Heinlein
A zygote is a gamete's way of producing more gametes. This may be the purpose of the universe.
Robert A. Heinlein
There are no dangerous weapons there are only dangerous men.
Robert A. Heinlein
When it don’t rain, the roof don’t leak when it rains, I can’t fix it nohow.
Robert A. Heinlein
You live and learn. Or you don't live long.

Anyone who can worship a trinity and insist that his religion is a monotheism can believe anything.
Robert A. Heinlein
