Robert A. Heinlein
Sovereign, like love, means anything you want it to mean it's a word in dictionary between sober and sozzled.
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
God split himself into a myriad parts that he might have friends. This may not be true, but it sounds good, and is no sillier than any other theology.
Robert A. Heinlein
There are things which cannot be taught in ten easy lessons, nor popularized for the masses they take years of skull sweat.
Robert A. Heinlein
I never do anything I don't want to do. Nor does anyone, but in my case I am always aware of it.
Robert A. Heinlein
Most gods have the manners and morals of a spoiled child.
Robert A. Heinlein
Son, the phrase is self-contradictory sense is never common.
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
Sin is cruelty and injustice, all else is peccadillo.
Robert A. Heinlein
