I took up writing because I needed money. And I continued to write because it's safer than stealing and easier than working.
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
Certain types of loudmouthism should be a capital offense among decent people.
Robert A. Heinlein

Robert A. Heinlein
The future is better than the past. Despite the crepe hangers, romanticists, and anti-intellectuals, the world steadily grows better because the human mind, applying itself to environment, makes it better. With hands ... with tools ... with horse sense and science and engineering.
Robert A. Heinlein
Have you ever known me to be rude to a lady? I have seen you be intentionally rude to a woman. I have never seen you be rude to a lady.
Robert A. Heinlein
Violence never settles anything should be debated by the ghosts of Hitler and Stalin, with the city fathers of Carthage as referees.
Robert A. Heinlein
Never pick up a stray kitten . . . unless you've already made up your mind to be owned by it.
Robert A. Heinlein
Never force an idea you'll abort it if you do.
Robert A. Heinlein
A family reunion is an effective form of birth control.
Robert A. Heinlein
With eternity to draw on there could be no reason for hurrying - 'hurry' was not a concept in Martian.
Robert A. Heinlein
Sin is cruelty and injustice, all else is peccadillo.
Robert A. Heinlein
I don't know Who is cranking I'm pleased He doesn't stop.
Robert A. Heinlein
