Robert A. Heinlein

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

Robert A. Heinlein
You can go wrong by being too skeptical as readily as by being too trusting.
Robert A. Heinlein
Most gods have the manners and morals of a spoiled child.
