More quotes by Robert A. Heinlein
The extremely tiny fraction who think regularly, accurately, creatively, and without self-delusion - in the long run, these are the only people who count.
Robert A. Heinlein
Circumstances can force your hand. So think ahead!
Robert A. Heinlein
It was better to live with disappointment and frustration than to live without hope.
Robert A. Heinlein
If tempted by something that feels 'altruistic,' examine your motives and root out that self-deception. Then, if you still want to do it, wallow in it!
Robert A. Heinlein
Small change can often be found under seat cushions.
Robert A. Heinlein
Please don't invent a debt that does not exist, or next you will be trying to feel gratitude - and that is the treacherous first step toward complete moral degradation.
Robert A. Heinlein
The Stone trembled and threw herself outward bound, toward Saturn. In her train followed hundreds and thousands and hundreds of thousands of thousands of restless, rolling Stones . . . to Saturn . . . to Uranus, to Pluto . . . rolling on out to the stars . . . outward bound to the ends of the Universe.
Robert A. Heinlein
May you live as long as you wish and love as long as you live.
Robert A. Heinlein
The intelligent fights only when he must and never for sport.
Robert A. Heinlein
Teaching causes people to go into situations from which they cannot escape, except by thinking. Do not handicap children by making their lives easy.
Robert A. Heinlein
He's an honest politician--he stays bought.
Robert A. Heinlein
Those who refuse to support and defend the state have no claim to protection by that state. Killing an anarchist or a pacifist should not be considered murder in a legalistic sense. The offense against the state, if any, should be Using deadly weapons within city limits, or Creating a traffic hazard, or other misdemeanor.
Robert A. Heinlein
In a society in which it is a moral offense to be different from your neighbor your only escape is to never let them find out.
Robert A. Heinlein
Do not confuse duty with what other people expect of you they are utterly different. Duty is a debt you owe to yourself to fulfill obligations you have assumed voluntarily. Paying that debt can entail anything from years of patient work to instant willingness to die. Difficult it may be, but the reward is self-respect.
Robert A. Heinlein
Anything which is physically possible can always be made financially possible money is a bugaboo of small minds.
Robert A. Heinlein
The early worm deserves the bird.
Robert A. Heinlein
I have spent too much of my life opening doors for cats—I once calculated that, since the dawn of civilization, nine hundred and seventy-eight man-centuries have been used up that way. I could show you figures.
Robert A. Heinlein
We each have a moral obligation to conserve and preserve beauty in this world there is none to waste.
Robert A. Heinlein
Whores perform the same function as priests, but far more thoroughly.
Robert A. Heinlein
Anyone can see a forest fire. Skill lies in sniffing the first smoke.
