More quotes by Robert A. Heinlein
Ayn Rand is a bloody socialist compared to me.
Robert A. Heinlein
Are you trying to tell all of us we have a bad signal-to-noise ratio?
Robert A. Heinlein
Each generation thinks it invented sex each generation is totally mistaken. Anything along that line today was commonplace both in Pompeii and in Victorian England the differences lie only in the degree of coverup - if any.
Robert A. Heinlein
Only a sadistic scoundrel-or a fool-tells the bald truth on social occasions.
Robert A. Heinlein
In terms of morals there is no such thing as ‘state.’ Just men. Individuals. Each responsible for his own acts.
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
We each have a moral obligation to conserve and preserve beauty in this world there is none to waste.
Robert A. Heinlein
A slave cannot be freed, save he do it himself. Nor can you enslave a free man the very most you can do is kill him!
Robert A. Heinlein
...more than six people cannot agree on anything, three is better and one is perfect for a job that one can do. This is why parliamentary bodies all through history, when they accomplished anything, owed it to a few strong men who dominated the rest.
Robert A. Heinlein
It's better to copulate than not.
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
The commonest weakness of our race is our ability to rationalize our most selfish purposes.
Robert A. Heinlein
Sex should be friendly. Otherwise stick to mechanical toys it's more sanitary.
Robert A. Heinlein
You don’t pay back, you pay forward.
Robert A. Heinlein
Decency is not news it is buried in the obituaries - but it is a force stronger than crime.
Robert A. Heinlein
It was better to live with disappointment and frustration than to live without hope.
Robert A. Heinlein
Women will forgive anything. Otherwise, the race would have died out long ago.
Robert A. Heinlein
Die trying is the proudest human thing.
Robert A. Heinlein
I would say that my position is not too far from that of Ayn Rand's that I would like to see government reduced to no more than internal police and courts, external armed forces - with the other matters handled otherwise. I'm sick of the way government sticks its nose in everything, now.
Robert A. Heinlein
The greatest fallacy of democracy is that everyone's opinion is worth the same.
Robert A. Heinlein
