When you're rich, you don't have friends you just have endless acquaintances.
Robert A. Heinlein
You can go wrong by being too skeptical as readily as by being too trusting.
Robert A. Heinlein
Unarmed hand-to-hand fighting does not change through the ages only the name changes, and it has only one rule: do it first, do it fast, do it dirtiest.
Robert A. Heinlein
How you behave toward cats here below determines your status in Heaven.
Robert A. Heinlein
Any government will work if authority and responsibility are equal and coordinate. This does not insure “good” government, it simply insures that it will work. But such governments are rare — most people want to run things, but want no part of the blame. This used to be called the “backseat driver” syndrome.
Robert A. Heinlein
Once upon a time there was a Martian named Valentine Michael Smith.
Robert A. Heinlein
I did the only really brave thing I have ever done in my life: I inched forward.

Robert A. Heinlein
Random chance was not a sufficient explanation of the Universe---in fact, random chance was not sufficient to explain random chance the pot could not hold itself.
Robert A. Heinlein
You're in bad shape when your emotions force you into acts which you know are foolish.
Robert A. Heinlein
People who go broke in a big way never miss any meals. It is the poor jerk who is shy a half slug who must tighten his belt.
Robert A. Heinlein
To be matter-of-fact about the world is to blunder into fantasy - and dull fantasy at that, as the real world is strange and wonderful.
Robert A. Heinlein
Some things, the more you understand the more you loathe them.
Robert A. Heinlein
But goodness alone is never enough. A hard, cold wisdom is required for goodness to accomplish good. Goodness without wisdom always accomplishes evil.
Robert A. Heinlein
First you must learn to control your self. The rest follows. Blessed is he who knows himself and commands himself, for the world is his and love and happiness and peace walk with him wherever he goes.
Robert A. Heinlein
Happiness consists in getting enough sleep. Just that, nothing more.
Robert A. Heinlein
Take big bites. Anything worth doing is worth overdoing.
Robert A. Heinlein
Beauty is not diminished by being shared.
