Decency is not news it is buried in the obituaries - but it is a force stronger than crime.
Robert A. Heinlein
Widows are far better than brides. They don't tell, they won't yell, they don't swell, they rarely smell, and they're grateful as hell.
Robert A. Heinlein
Only a sadistic scoundrel-or a fool-tells the bald truth on social occasions.
Robert A. Heinlein
God created men to test the souls of women.
Robert A. Heinlein
A girl's name ending in 'a' - that always suggests a 'C' cup.

Whores perform the same function as priests, but far more thoroughly.
Robert A. Heinlein
Long human words (the longer the better) were easy, unmistakable, and rarely changed their meanings . . . but short words were slippery, unpredictable, changing their meanings without any pattern.
Robert A. Heinlein
