Robert A. Heinlein
Anyone can see a forest fire. Skill lies in sniffing the first smoke.

Robert A. Heinlein
Never appeal to a man's 'better nature.' He may not have one. Invoking his self-interest gives you more leverage.
Robert A. Heinlein
If you don't like yourself, you can't like other people. -- Lazarus Long.
Robert A. Heinlein
How can I possibly put a new idea into your heads, if I do not first remove your delusions?

The best things in history are accomplished by people who get tired of being shoved around.
Robert A. Heinlein
Every Congressman, every Senator knows precisely what causes inflation... but can't, [won't] support the drastic reforms to stop it [repeal of the Federal Reserve Act] because it could cost him his job.
Robert A. Heinlein
