Robert A. Heinlein
Money is a powerful aphrodisiac but flowers work almost as well.
Robert A. Heinlein
Mighty little force is needed to control a man whose mind has been hoodwinked contrariwise, no amount of force can control a free man, a man whose mind is free. No, not the rack, not fission bombs, not anything - you can't conquer a free man the most you can do is kill him.
Robert A. Heinlein

Robert A. Heinlein
Most women are damn fools and children. But they've got more range than we've got. The brave ones are braver, the good ones are better - and the vile ones are viler, for that matter.
Robert A. Heinlein
The faith in which I was brought up assured me that I was better than other people I was saved, they were damned.... Our hymns were loaded with arrogance - self-congratulation on how cozy we were with the Almighty and what a high opinion he had of us, what hell everybody else would catch come Judgment Day.
Robert A. Heinlein
Since when was an emotional argument won by logic?
Robert A. Heinlein
A prude is a person who thinks that his own rules of propriety are natural laws.
