Do-gooding is like treating hemophilia - the real cure is to let hemophiliacs bleed to death...before they breed more hemophiliacs.
Robert A. Heinlein

Robert A. Heinlein
A woman is not property, and husbands who think otherwise are living in a dreamworld.
Robert A. Heinlein
Teaching causes people to go into situations from which they cannot escape, except by thinking. Do not handicap children by making their lives easy.
Robert A. Heinlein
Come Judgment Day, we may find that Mumbo Jumbo the God of the Congo was the Big Boss all along.
Robert A. Heinlein
Anyone who considers protocol unimportant has never dealt with a cat.
Robert A. Heinlein
Everything in excess! To enjoy the flavor of life, take big bites. Moderation is for monks.
Robert A. Heinlein
If you pray hard enough, water will run uphill. How hard? Why, hard enough to make water run uphill, of course!
Robert A. Heinlein
In the absence of clearly-defined goals, we become strangely loyal to performing daily trivia until ultimately we become enslaved by it.
Robert A. Heinlein
Sovereign, like love, means anything you want it to mean it's a word in dictionary between sober and sozzled.
