More quotes by Robert A. Heinlein
Aside from a cold appreciation of my own genius I felt that I was a modest man.
Robert A. Heinlein
Patriotism is not sentimental nonsense. Nor something dreamed up by demagogues. Patriotism is as necessary a part of man's evolutionary equipment as are his eyes, as useful to the race as eyes are to the individual.
Robert A. Heinlein
Whoring is like military service...okay in the upper brackets, not so good lower down.
Robert A. Heinlein
Long human words (the longer the better) were easy, unmistakable, and rarely changed their meanings . . . but short words were slippery, unpredictable, changing their meanings without any pattern.
Robert A. Heinlein
My old man taught me two things: 'Mind own business' and 'Always cut cards.'
Robert A. Heinlein
He's as weird as snake's suspenders but sweet as a stolen kiss, too.
Robert A. Heinlein
Damnit! Nationalism should stop at the stratosphere!
Robert A. Heinlein
It may take endless wars and unbearable population pressure to force-feed a technology to the point where it can cope with space. In the universe, space travel may be the normal birth pangs of an otherwise dying race. A test. Some races pass, some fail.
Robert A. Heinlein
You were probably educated in the conventional economic theories of your period which were magnificent and most ingenious, but--if you will pardon my saying so--all wrong.
Robert A. Heinlein
When it don’t rain, the roof don’t leak when it rains, I can’t fix it nohow.
Robert A. Heinlein
Free will is a golden thread running through the frozen matrix of fixed events.
Robert A. Heinlein
I have never been able to see life as anything but a vast complicated practical joke, and it's better to laugh than cry.
Robert A. Heinlein
Selfishness is the bedrock on which all moral behavior starts and it can be immoral only when it conflicts with a higher moral imperative.
Robert A. Heinlein
From my point of view, a great deal of openly expressed piety is insufferable conceit.
Robert A. Heinlein
Money is a powerful aphrodisiac but flowers work almost as well.
Robert A. Heinlein
When he kisses you he isn't doing anything else. You're his whole universe, and the moment is eternal because he doesn't have any plans and isn't going anywhere. Just kissing you ... it's overwhelming.
Robert A. Heinlein
Women will forgive anything. Otherwise, the race would have died out long ago.
Robert A. Heinlein
There is no such thing as luck there is only adequate or inadequate preparation to cope with a statistical universe.
Robert A. Heinlein
Democracy can survive anything except Democrats
Robert A. Heinlein
Wisdom includes not getting angry unnecessarily. The Law ignores trifles and the wise man does, too.
Robert A. Heinlein
