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.: Robert A. Heinlein, Time Enough For Love
Theology is never any help; it is searching in a dark cellar at midnight for a black cat that isn't there. Theologians can persuade themselves of anything.: Robert A. Heinlein
Anyone who clings to the historically untrue -- and thoroughly immoral -- doctrine that `violence never settles anything' I would advise to conjure up the ghosts of Napoleon Bonaparte and of the Duke of Wellington and let them debate it. The ghost of Hitler could referee, and the jury might well be the Dodo, the Great Auk, and the Passenger Pigeon. Violence, naked force, has settled more issues in history than has any other factor, and the contrary opinion is wishful thinking at its worst. Breeds that forget this basic truth have always paid for it with their lives and freedoms.: Robert Heinlein (1907 - 1988), Starship Troopers
Theology is never any help; it is searching in a dark cellar at midnight for a black cat that isn't there. Theologians can persuade themselves of anything.: Robert Heinlein (1907 - 1988)
Specialization is for insects.: Robert Heinlein (1907 - 1988), The voice of Lazarus Long
The power to tax, once conceded, has no limits; it contains until it destroys.: Robert A. Heinlein, The Moon is a Harsh Mistress
How you behave toward cats here below determines your status in Heaven.: Robert A. Heinlein
A fool cannot be protected from his folly. If you attempt to do so, you will not only arouse his animosity but also you will be attempting to deprive him of whatever benefit he is capable of deriving from experience. Never attempt to teach a pig to sing; it wastes your time and annoys the pig.: Robert A. Heinlein
Premenstrual Syndrome: Just before their periods women behave the way men do all the time.: Robert A. Heinlein
A pessimist is correct oftener than an optimist, but an optimist has more fun - and neither can stop the march of events.: Robert A. Heinlein
