Nobody has ever seen an electron. Nor a thought. You can't see a thought, you can't measure, weigh, nor taste it- but thoughts are the most real things in the Galaxy.
Robert A. Heinlein
One man's 'magic' is another man's engineering. 'Supernatural' is a null word.

Robert A. Heinlein
Don't tell me violence doesn't solve anything. Look at Carthage.
Robert A. Heinlein
If you've got the truth you can demonstrate it. Talking doesn't prove it.
Robert A. Heinlein
First you must learn to control your self. The rest follows. Blessed is he who knows himself and commands himself, for the world is his and love and happiness and peace walk with him wherever he goes.
Robert A. Heinlein
A society that gets rid of all its troublemakers goes downhill.
Robert A. Heinlein
When you're rich, you don't have friends you just have endless acquaintances.
Robert A. Heinlein
