More quotes by Robert A. Heinlein
Beauty is not diminished by being shared.
Robert A. Heinlein
An invention is something that was impossible up to then that's why governments grant patents.
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
In Wilson's scale of evaluations breakfast rated just after life itself and ahead of the chance of immortality.
Robert A. Heinlein
I wanted the feeling of romance and the sense of wonder I had known as a kid. I wanted the world to be what they had promised me it was going to be - instead of the tawdry, lousy fouled-up mess it is.
Robert A. Heinlein
How anybody expects a man to stay in business with every two-bit wowser in the country claiming a veto over what we can say and can't say and what we can show and what we can't show - it's enough to make you throw up. The whole principle is wrong it's like demanding that grown men live on skim milk because the baby can't eat steak.
Robert A. Heinlein
Self awareness is NOT just a bunch of amino acids bumping together.
Robert A. Heinlein
The capacity of the human mind for swallowing nonsense and spewing it forth in violent and repressive action has never yet been plumbed.
Robert A. Heinlein
The shamans are forever yacking about their snake oil miracles. I prefer the real McCoy, a pregnant woman.
Robert A. Heinlein
Circumstances can force your hand. So think ahead!
Robert A. Heinlein
It is impossible for anyone to be responsible for another person's behavior. The most you or any leader can do is to encourage each one to be responsible for himself.
Robert A. Heinlein
I would say that my position is not too far from that of Ayn Rand's that I would like to see government reduced to no more than internal police and courts, external armed forces - with the other matters handled otherwise. I'm sick of the way government sticks its nose in everything, now.
Robert A. Heinlein
Sense is never common.
Robert A. Heinlein
Sin lies only in hurting others unnecessarily. All other sins are invented nonsense.
Robert A. Heinlein
A brute kills for pleasure. A fool kills from hate.
Robert A. Heinlein
God created men to test the souls of women.
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
Nor would anybody suspect. If was one thing all people took for granted, was conviction that if you feed honest figures into a computer, honest figures come out. Never doubted it myself till I met a computer with a sense of humor.
Robert A. Heinlein
Take big bites. Anything worth doing is worth overdoing.
Robert A. Heinlein
I came, I saw, she conquered. The original Latin seems to have been garbled.
Robert A. Heinlein
