In Wilson's scale of evaluations breakfast rated just after life itself and ahead of the chance of immortality.
Robert A. Heinlein
When it don’t rain, the roof don’t leak when it rains, I can’t fix it nohow.
Robert A. Heinlein
When you vote, you are exercising political authority, you're using force. And force, my friends, is violence. The supreme authority from which all other authorities are derived.
Robert A. Heinlein
All my enemies are self-appointed.
Robert A. Heinlein
Decency is not news it is buried in the obituaries - but it is a force stronger than crime.
Robert A. Heinlein
The saddest thing about ephemerals was that their little lives rarely held time enough for love.
Robert A. Heinlein

Robert A. Heinlein
Formal courtesy between husband and wife is even more important than it is between strangers.

Robert A. Heinlein
There are two ways of forming an opinion. One is the scientific method the other, the scholastic. To the scientific mind, experimental proof is all-important, and theory is merely a convenience in description, to be junked when it no longer fits. To the academic mind, authority is everything, and facts are junked when they do not fit theory.
Robert A. Heinlein
Under our system every voter and officeholder is a man who has demonstrated through voluntary and difficult service that he places the welfare of the group ahead of personal advantage.
Robert A. Heinlein
Ayn Rand is a bloody socialist compared to me.
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
A society that gets rid of all its troublemakers goes downhill.
Robert A. Heinlein
An armed society is a polite society. Manners are good when one may have to back up his acts with his life.
Robert A. Heinlein
Remember though, your best weapon is between your ears and under your scalp -provided it's loaded.
Robert A. Heinlein
Stupidity cannot be cured. Stupidity is the only universal capital crime the sentence is death. There is no appeal, and execution is carried out automatically and without pity.
Robert A. Heinlein
An armed society is a polite society.
Robert A. Heinlein
Spacemen - men who work in space, pilots and jetmen and astrogators and such - are men who like a few million miles of elbow room.
Robert A. Heinlein
Never attribute to malice that which can be adequately explained by stupidity. Never underestimate the power of human stupidity.
Robert A. Heinlein
