More quotes by Robert A. Heinlein
I never learned from a man who agreed with me.
Robert A. Heinlein
Whoring is like military service...okay in the upper brackets, not so good lower down.
Robert A. Heinlein
Humans hardly ever learn from the experience of others. They learn - when they do, which isn't often - on their own, the hard way.
Robert A. Heinlein
I'm not trying to frighten you, but only a fool makes predictions based on ignorance I am not that sort of fool.
Robert A. Heinlein
My vocal cords lived their own life, wild and free.
Robert A. Heinlein
Age does not bring wisdom... but it does give perspective... and the saddest sight of all is to see, far behind you, temptations you've resisted.
Robert A. Heinlein
The worst that can possibly have happened to him is death and that we are all in for---if not this morning, then in days, or weeks, or years at most.
Robert A. Heinlein
Anyone who can worship a trinity and insist that his religion is a monotheism can believe anything.
Robert A. Heinlein
One man's theology is another man's belly laugh.
Robert A. Heinlein

Robert A. Heinlein
There are no dangerous weapons there are only dangerous men.
Robert A. Heinlein
In past history popularly elected governments have been no better and sometimes far worse than overt tyrannies.
Robert A. Heinlein
Logic is a feeble reed, friend. Logic proved that airplanes can't fly and that H-bombs won't work and that stones don't fall out of the sky. Logic is a way of saying that anything which didn't happen yesterday won't happen tomorrow.
Robert A. Heinlein
Civilians are like beans you buy 'em as needed for any job which merely requires skill and savvy. But you can't buy fighting spirit.
Robert A. Heinlein
I came, I saw, she conquered. The original Latin seems to have been garbled.
Robert A. Heinlein
He's as weird as snake's suspenders but sweet as a stolen kiss, too.
Robert A. Heinlein
A brute kills for pleasure. A fool kills from hate.
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
- I'm so busy doing what I must do that I don't have time for what I ought to do... and I never get a chance to do what I want to do! - Son, that's universal. The way to keep that recipe from killing you is occasionally to do what you want to do anyhow.
Robert A. Heinlein
I believe in my neighbors. I know their faults and I know that their virtues far outweigh their faults.
Robert A. Heinlein
