Spacemen die if they stay in one place.
Robert A. Heinlein
The death rate is the same for us as for anybody ... one person, one death, sooner or later.
Robert A. Heinlein

A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed. - Second Amendment to the Constitution An armed society is a polite society.
Robert A. Heinlein
Any government will work if authority and responsibility are equal and coordinate. This does not insure “good” government, it simply insures that it will work. But such governments are rare — most people want to run things, but want no part of the blame. This used to be called the “backseat driver” syndrome.
Robert A. Heinlein
If we blow ourselves up we will do it by misapplication of science if we manage to keep from blowing ourselves up, it will be through intelligent application of science.
Robert A. Heinlein
I have never been impressed by the formal schools of ethics.
Robert A. Heinlein
Figure out for yourself what you want to be really good at, know that you'll never really satisfy yourself that you've made it, and accept that that's okay.
Robert A. Heinlein
