Robert A. Heinlein
It was better to live with disappointment and frustration than to live without hope.
Robert A. Heinlein
Nothing of value is free. Even the breath of life is purchased at birth only through gasping effort and pain.

Robert A. Heinlein
Progress isn't made by early risers. It's made by lazy men trying to find easier ways to do something.
Robert A. Heinlein

Robert A. Heinlein
