More quotes by Robert A. Heinlein
Faith is intellectual laziness.
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
All human behavior, all human motivations, all man’s hopes and fears, were heavily colored and largely controlled by mankind’s tragic and oddly beautiful pattern of reproduction.
Robert A. Heinlein
There are no dangerous weapons there are only dangerous men.
Robert A. Heinlein
Are you trying to tell all of us we have a bad signal-to-noise ratio?
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
Only a sadistic scoundrel-or a fool-tells the bald truth on social occasions.
Robert A. Heinlein
There will always be survivors.
Robert A. Heinlein

Robert A. Heinlein
In handling a stinging insect, move very slowly.
Robert A. Heinlein
May you live as long as you wish and love as long as you live.
Robert A. Heinlein
Learn to say No—and to be rude about it when necessary. Otherwise you will not have time to carry out your duty, or to do your own work, and certainly no time for love and happiness. The termites will nibble away your life and leave none of it for you.
Robert A. Heinlein
It's amazing how much 'mature wisdom' resembles being too tired.
Robert A. Heinlein
Don't tell me violence doesn't solve anything. Look at Carthage.
Robert A. Heinlein
A committee is a life form with six or more legs and no brain.
Robert A. Heinlein
Take big bites. Anything worth doing is worth overdoing.
Robert A. Heinlein
God split himself into a myriad parts that he might have friends. This may not be true, but it sounds good, and is no sillier than any other theology.
Robert A. Heinlein
If you pray hard enough, water will run uphill. How hard? Why, hard enough to make water run uphill, of course!
Robert A. Heinlein
There ain't no such thing as a free lunch.
Robert A. Heinlein
