Robert A. Heinlein
Heroism' often consists in keeping your head in an emergency and doing the best you can with what you have instead of panicking and being shot in the tail. People who fight this way win more battles than do intentional heroes a glory hound often throws away the lives of his mates as well as his own.
Robert A. Heinlein
Reason is poor propaganda when opposed by the yammering, unceasing lies of shrewd and evil and self-serving men.
Robert A. Heinlein
The Earth is just too small and fragile a basket for the human race to keep all its eggs in.
Robert A. Heinlein
