Robert A. Heinlein
The intelligent fights only when he must and never for sport.
Robert A. Heinlein
In the eighty or ninety years I have given to this subject, trying to trace out the meanderings of their twisty little minds, the only thing that I have learned for certain about women is that when a gal is gonna, she's gonna. All a man can do is cooperate with the inevitable.
Robert A. Heinlein
Circumstances can force your hand. So think ahead!
Robert A. Heinlein
Never tease an old dog he might have one bite left.
Robert A. Heinlein
The worst that can possibly have happened to him is death and that we are all in for---if not this morning, then in days, or weeks, or years at most.
Robert A. Heinlein
