Results from Cole's Quotables:

To be matter of fact about the world is to blunder into fantasy -- and dull fantasy at that, as the real world is strange and wonderful.: Robert Heinlein (1907 - 1988)
A generation which ignores history has no past and no future.: Robert Heinlein (1907 - 1988), The Notebooks of Lazurus Long

But, like dandruff, most people do have a religion and spend time and money on it and seem to derive considerable pleasure from fiddling with it.: Robert Heinlein (1907 - 1988), Time Enough for Love (1972)

Results from Rand Lindsly's Quotations:

The phrase "we (I) (you) simply must..." designates something that need not be done. "That goes without saying" is a red warning. "Of course" means you had best check it yourself. These small-change cliches and others like them, when read correctly, are reliable channel markers.: Excerpt from the notebooks of Lazarus Long, from Robert Heinlein's "Time Enough for Love"
A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly. Specialization is for insects.: Excerpt from the notebooks of Lazarus Long, from Robert Heinlein's "Time Enough for Love"
One man's "magic" is another man's engineering. "Supernatural" is a null word.: Excerpt from the notebooks of Lazarus Long, from Robert Heinlein's "Time Enough for Love"
You live and learn. Or you don't live long.: Excerpt from the notebooks of Lazarus Long, from Robert Heinlein's "Time Enough for Love"
Beware of altruism. It is based on self-deception, the root of all evil.: Excerpt from the notebooks of Lazarus Long, from Robert Heinlein's "Time Enough for Love"
The truth of a proposition has nothing to do with its credibility. And vice versa.: Excerpt from the notebooks of Lazarus Long, from Robert Heinlein's "Time Enough for Love"
Stupidity cannot be cured with money, or through education, or by legislation. Stupidity is not a sin, the victim can't help being stupid. But stupidity is the only universal capital crime; the sentence is death, there is no appeal and execution is carried out automatically and without pity.: Excerpt from the notebooks of Lazarus Long, from Robert Heinlein's "Time Enough for Love"
