Robert A. Heinlein

Robert A. Heinlein
Every Congressman, every Senator knows precisely what causes inflation... but can't, [won't] support the drastic reforms to stop it [repeal of the Federal Reserve Act] because it could cost him his job.
Robert A. Heinlein

Robert A. Heinlein
There are two ways of forming an opinion. One is the scientific method the other, the scholastic. To the scientific mind, experimental proof is all-important, and theory is merely a convenience in description, to be junked when it no longer fits. To the academic mind, authority is everything, and facts are junked when they do not fit theory.
Robert A. Heinlein
Many short-sighted fools think that going to the Moon was just a stunt. But the astronauts knew the meaning of what they were doing, as is shown by Neil Armstrong's first words in stepping down onto the soil of Luna: One small step for a man, one giant leap for mankind.
Robert A. Heinlein
The meek shall inherit the earth - a 6 foot plot above them.
Robert A. Heinlein

Robert A. Heinlein
Circumstances can force your hand. So think ahead!
Robert A. Heinlein

Robert A. Heinlein
People who go broke in a big way never miss any meals. It is the poor jerk who is shy a half slug who must tighten his belt.
Robert A. Heinlein
Anyone who considers protocol unimportant has never dealt with a cat.
Robert A. Heinlein
Widows are far better than brides. They don't tell, they won't yell, they don't swell, they rarely smell, and they're grateful as hell.
Robert A. Heinlein
It was better to live with disappointment and frustration than to live without hope.
Robert A. Heinlein
Do-gooding is like treating hemophilia - the real cure is to let hemophiliacs bleed to death...before they breed more hemophiliacs.
Robert A. Heinlein
As it says in Bible, God fights on side of heaviest artillery.
Robert A. Heinlein
Pacifism is a shifty doctrine under which a man accepts the benefits of the social group without being willing to pay and claims a halo for his dishonesty.
Robert A. Heinlein
Don't tell me violence doesn't solve anything. Look at Carthage.
Robert A. Heinlein
Under what circumstances is it moral for a group to do that which is not moral for a member of that group to do alone?
