More quotes by Robert A. Heinlein
Any priest or shaman must be presumed guilty until proved innocent.
Robert A. Heinlein
Death is the lot of us all, and the only way that the human race has ever conquered death is by treating it with contempt. By living every golden minute as if one had all Eternity.
Robert A. Heinlein
If it can't be expressed in figures, it is not science it is opinion. It has long been known that one horse can run faster than another - but which one? Differences are crucial.
Robert A. Heinlein
Behind every mystery lies another mystery.
Robert A. Heinlein
Most women are damn fools and children. But they've got more range than we've got. The brave ones are braver, the good ones are better - and the vile ones are viler, for that matter.
Robert A. Heinlein
Money is a powerful aphrodisiac but flowers work almost as well.
Robert A. Heinlein
The human race divides politically into those who want people to be controlled and those who have no such desire.
Robert A. Heinlein
Between being 'right' and being kind, I know which way I vote.
Robert A. Heinlein
Nor would anybody suspect. If was one thing all people took for granted, was conviction that if you feed honest figures into a computer, honest figures come out. Never doubted it myself till I met a computer with a sense of humor.
Robert A. Heinlein
Writing is not necessarily something to be ashamed of, but do it in private and wash your hands afterwards.
Robert A. Heinlein
Specialisation is for insects!
Robert A. Heinlein
Certainly the game is rigged. Don't let that stop you if you don't bet you can't win.
Robert A. Heinlein
In a dilemma, it is helpful to change any variable, then reexamine the problem.
Robert A. Heinlein
If we blow ourselves up we will do it by misapplication of science if we manage to keep from blowing ourselves up, it will be through intelligent application of science.
Robert A. Heinlein
Mighty little force is needed to control a man whose mind has been hoodwinked contrariwise, no amount of force can control a free man, a man whose mind is free. No, not the rack, not fission bombs, not anything - you can't conquer a free man the most you can do is kill him.
Robert A. Heinlein
Stupidity cannot be cured. Stupidity is the only universal capital crime the sentence is death. There is no appeal, and execution is carried out automatically and without pity.
Robert A. Heinlein
Liberty is never unalienable, it must be redeemed regularly with the blood of patriots or it always vanishes.
Robert A. Heinlein
I came, I saw, she conquered. The original Latin seems to have been garbled.
Robert A. Heinlein
Sin is cruelty and injustice, all else is peccadillo.
Robert A. Heinlein
Anything which is physically possible can always be made financially possible money is a bugaboo of small minds.
Robert A. Heinlein
