More quotes by Robert A. Heinlein
But, if there ever was a time in history when peace meant that there was no fighting going on, I have been unable to find out about it.
Robert A. Heinlein
It's better to copulate than not.
Robert A. Heinlein
I would say that my position is not too far from that of Ayn Rand's that I would like to see government reduced to no more than internal police and courts, external armed forces - with the other matters handled otherwise. I'm sick of the way government sticks its nose in everything, now.
Robert A. Heinlein
Some people insist that mediocre is better than best. They delight in clipping wings because they themselves can't fly. They despise brains because they have none.
Robert A. Heinlein
The only thing privacy laws accomplish is making the bugs smaller.
Robert A. Heinlein
A slave cannot be freed, save he do it himself. Nor can you enslave a free man the very most you can do is kill him!
Robert A. Heinlein
I never do anything I don't want to do. Nor does anyone, but in my case I am always aware of it.
Robert A. Heinlein
Nothing of value is free. Even the breath of life is purchased at birth only through gasping effort and pain.
Robert A. Heinlein
One man's 'magic' is another man's engineering. 'Supernatural' is a null word.
Robert A. Heinlein
You were probably educated in the conventional economic theories of your period which were magnificent and most ingenious, but--if you will pardon my saying so--all wrong.
Robert A. Heinlein
A fool cannot be protected from his folly. If you attempt to do so, you will not only arouse his animosity but also you will be attempting to deprive him of whatever benefit he is capable of deriving from experience. Never attempt to teach a pig to sing it wastes your time and annoys the pig.
Robert A. Heinlein
I came, I saw, she conquered. The original Latin seems to have been garbled.
Robert A. Heinlein
It is a bad sign when the people of a country stop identifying themselves with the country and start identifying with a group. A racial group. Or a religion. Or a language. Anything, as long as it isn't the whole population.
Robert A. Heinlein
In this complex world, the scientific method, and the consequences of the scientific method are central to everything the human race is doing and to wherever we are going.
Robert A. Heinlein
Wisdom includes not getting angry unnecessarily. The Law ignores trifles and the wise man does, too.
Robert A. Heinlein
A poet who reads his verse in public may have other nasty habits.
Robert A. Heinlein
Nobody has ever seen an electron. Nor a thought. You can't see a thought, you can't measure, weigh, nor taste it- but thoughts are the most real things in the Galaxy.
Robert A. Heinlein
Women seem to have almost unlimited capacity for forgiveness. (Since it is usually a man who needs forgiveness, this must be a racial survival trait.
Robert A. Heinlein
There ain't no such thing as a free lunch.
Robert A. Heinlein
I'm not trying to frighten you, but only a fool makes predictions based on ignorance I am not that sort of fool.
