Robert A. Heinlein
By the data to date, there is only one animal in the Galaxy dangerous to man -- man himself. So he must supply his own indispensable competition. He has no enemy to help him.
Robert A. Heinlein
Anyone who considers protocol unimportant has never dealt with a cat.
Robert A. Heinlein
Democracy's worst fault is that its leaders are likely to reflect the faults and virtues of their constituents.
Robert A. Heinlein
The ordinary bloke will not voluntarily pay for art that leaves him unmoved--if he does pay for it, the money has to be conned out of him, by taxes and such.
Robert A. Heinlein
Oh, you have to charge 'em, Jubal. The marks won't pay attention if it's free.
Robert A. Heinlein
If I had a Boy Scout I could make a fire by rubbing his hind legs together.
