Robert A. Heinlein
Many short-sighted fools think that going to the Moon was just a stunt. But the astronauts knew the meaning of what they were doing, as is shown by Neil Armstrong's first words in stepping down onto the soil of Luna: One small step for a man, one giant leap for mankind.
Robert A. Heinlein
Unarmed hand-to-hand fighting does not change through the ages only the name changes, and it has only one rule: do it first, do it fast, do it dirtiest.
Robert A. Heinlein
You can go wrong by being too skeptical as readily as by being too trusting.
Robert A. Heinlein
