The human race divides politically into those who want people to be controlled and those who have no such desire.
Robert A. Heinlein
In the eighty or ninety years I have given to this subject, trying to trace out the meanderings of their twisty little minds, the only thing that I have learned for certain about women is that when a gal is gonna, she's gonna. All a man can do is cooperate with the inevitable.

Robert A. Heinlein
You have attributed conditions to villainy that simply result from stupidity.
Robert A. Heinlein
A dying culture invariably exhibits personal rudeness. Bad manners. Lack of consideration for others in minor matters. A loss of politeness, of gentle manners, is more significant than is a riot.
Robert A. Heinlein
Specialization is for insects.
Robert A. Heinlein
A brute kills for pleasure. A fool kills from hate.
Robert A. Heinlein
I never learned from a man who agreed with me.
Robert A. Heinlein
Don't handicap your children by making their lives easy.
Robert A. Heinlein
Evolution is a process that never stops. Baboons who fail to exhibit moral behavior do not survive they wind up as meat for leopards.
Robert A. Heinlein
Wisdom includes not getting angry unnecessarily. The Law ignores trifles and the wise man does, too.
Robert A. Heinlein
