More quotes by Robert A. Heinlein

Robert A. Heinlein

Robert A. Heinlein
The more you love, the more you can love - and the more intensely you love.
Robert A. Heinlein
The shamans are forever yacking about their snake oil miracles. I prefer the real McCoy, a pregnant woman.
Robert A. Heinlein
Time is your total capital, and the minutes of your life are painfully few.
Robert A. Heinlein
Peace is a condition in which no civilian pays any attention to military casualties which do not achieve page-one, lead-story prominence-unless that civilian is a close relative of one of the casualties. But, if there ever was a time in history when peace meant that there was no fighting going on, I have been unable to find out about it.
Robert A. Heinlein
The intelligent fights only when he must and never for sport.
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
I did the only really brave thing I have ever done in my life: I inched forward.
Robert A. Heinlein
