More quotes by Robert A. Heinlein
Spacemen die if they stay in one place.
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
Reason is poor propaganda when opposed by the yammering, unceasing lies of shrewd and evil and self-serving men.
Robert A. Heinlein
The early worm deserves the bird.
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
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
Humans hardly ever learn from the experience of others. They learn - when they do, which isn't often - on their own, the hard way.
Robert A. Heinlein
The stars incline, but do not impel.
Robert A. Heinlein
Nobody has ever seen an electron. Nor a thought. You can't see a thought, you can't measure, weigh, nor taste it- but thoughts are the most real things in the Galaxy.
Robert A. Heinlein
I did the only really brave thing I have ever done in my life: I inched forward.
Robert A. Heinlein
The hardest part of gaining any new idea is sweeping out the false idea occupying that niche.
Robert A. Heinlein
Customs tell a man who he is, where he belongs, what he must do. Better illogical customs than none men cannot live together without them.
Robert A. Heinlein
A committee is a life form with six or more legs and no brain.
Robert A. Heinlein
Gratitude: An imaginary emotion that rewards an imaginary behavior, altruism. Both imaginaries are false faces for selfishness, which is a real and honest emotion.
Robert A. Heinlein
Random chance was not a sufficient explanation of the Universe---in fact, random chance was not sufficient to explain random chance the pot could not hold itself.
Robert A. Heinlein
From my point of view, a great deal of openly expressed piety is insufferable conceit.
Robert A. Heinlein
Under what circumstances is it moral for a group to do that which is not moral for a member of that group to do alone?
Robert A. Heinlein
Spacemen - men who work in space, pilots and jetmen and astrogators and such - are men who like a few million miles of elbow room.
Robert A. Heinlein
The extremely tiny fraction who think regularly, accurately, creatively, and without self-delusion - in the long run, these are the only people who count.
Robert A. Heinlein
The future is better than the past. Despite the crepe hangers, romanticists, and anti-intellectuals, the world steadily grows better because the human mind, applying itself to environment, makes it better. With hands ... with tools ... with horse sense and science and engineering.
Robert A. Heinlein
