More quotes by Robert A. Heinlein
How you behave toward cats here below determines your status in Heaven.
Robert A. Heinlein
Those who refuse to support and defend the state have no claim to protection by that state. Killing an anarchist or a pacifist should not be considered murder in a legalistic sense. The offense against the state, if any, should be Using deadly weapons within city limits, or Creating a traffic hazard, or other misdemeanor.
Robert A. Heinlein
...more than six people cannot agree on anything, three is better and one is perfect for a job that one can do. This is why parliamentary bodies all through history, when they accomplished anything, owed it to a few strong men who dominated the rest.
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
Your enemy is never a villain in his own eyes.
Robert A. Heinlein
The greatest productive force is human selfishness.
Robert A. Heinlein
May you live as long as you wish and love as long as you live.
Robert A. Heinlein
I never do anything I don't want to do. Nor does anyone, but in my case I am always aware of it.
Robert A. Heinlein
If men were the automatons that behaviorists claim they are, the behaviorist psychologists could not have invented the amazing nonsense called 'behaviorist psychology.'
Robert A. Heinlein
My old man says when it's time to be counted, the important thing is to be man enough to stand up.
Robert A. Heinlein
All normal human beings have soi-disant mixed-up glands. The race is divided into two parts: those who know this and those who do not.
Robert A. Heinlein
The whole principle (censorship) is wrong it's like demanding that grown men live on skim milk because the baby can't eat steak.
Robert A. Heinlein
The truth of a proposition has nothing to do with its credibility. And vice versa.
Robert A. Heinlein
There will always be survivors.
Robert A. Heinlein
Love is that condition in which the happiness of another person is essential to your own... Jealousy is a disease, love is a healthy condition. The immature mind often mistakes one for the other, or assumes that the greater the love, the greater the jealousy.
Robert A. Heinlein
There is no way that writers can be tamed and rendered civilized or even cured. The only solution known to science is to provide the patient with an isolation room, where he can endure the acute stages in private and where food can be poked in to him with a stick.
Robert A. Heinlein
It seems to me that any law that is not enforced and can't be enforced weakens all other laws.
Robert A. Heinlein
We learned not to waste ammo even on warriors except in self-protection
Robert A. Heinlein
It is a truism that almost any sect, cult, or religion will legislate its creeds into law if it acquires the political power to do so, and will follow it by suppressing opposition, subverting all education to seize early the minds of the young, and by killing, locking up, or driving underground all heretics.
Robert A. Heinlein
There is no safety this side of the grave
