More quotes by Robert A. Heinlein
Since when was an emotional argument won by logic?
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
Certainly the game is rigged. Don't let that stop you if you don't bet you can't win.
Robert A. Heinlein
Learn to say No—and to be rude about it when necessary. Otherwise you will not have time to carry out your duty, or to do your own work, and certainly no time for love and happiness. The termites will nibble away your life and leave none of it for you.
Robert A. Heinlein
Certain types of loudmouthism should be a capital offense among decent people.
Robert A. Heinlein

Robert A. Heinlein
In the eighty or ninety years I have given to this subject, trying to trace out the meanderings of their twisty little minds, the only thing that I have learned for certain about women is that when a gal is gonna, she's gonna. All a man can do is cooperate with the inevitable.
Robert A. Heinlein
'Savage' describes a cultural condition, not a degree of intelligence.
Robert A. Heinlein
A slave cannot be freed, save he do it himself. Nor can you enslave a free man the very most you can do is kill him!
Robert A. Heinlein
There will always be survivors.
Robert A. Heinlein
Be wary of strong drink. It can make you shoot at tax collectors... and miss.
Robert A. Heinlein
Time is your total capital, and the minutes of your life are painfully few.
Robert A. Heinlein
It's amazing how much 'mature wisdom' resembles being too tired.
Robert A. Heinlein
A society that gets rid of all its troublemakers goes downhill.
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
