Logic is a feeble reed, friend. "Logic" proved that airplanes can't fly and that H-bombs won't work and that stones don't fall out of the sky. Logic is a way of saying that anything which didn't happen yesterday won't happen tomorrow.

Never crowd youngsters about ...

Never crowd youngsters about their private affairs - sex especially. When they are growing up, they are nerve ends all over, and resent (quite properly) any invasion of their privacy. Oh, sure, they'll make mistakes - but that's their business, not yours. (You made your own mistakes, did you not?)

Never cast pearls before swine.

By the laws of statistics we could probably approximate just how unlikely it is that it would happen. But people forget especially those who ought to know better, such as yourself that while the laws of statistics tell you how unlikely a particular coincidence is, they state just as firmly that coincidences do happen.

If I had a Boy Scout I could make a fire by rubbing his hind legs together.

It's a long story. Want a refill?" "No, let's start the steak. Where's the button?" "Right here." "Well, push it." "Me? You offered to cook."

Tilting at windmills hurts you more than the windmills.

Robert Heinlein 746 quotes

No matter what I said they in...

No matter what I said they insisted on thinking of God as something outside themselves. Something that yearns to take every indolent moron to His breast and comfort him. The notion that the effort has to be their own . . . and that the trouble they are in is all their own doing . . . is one that they can't or won't entertain.

Robert Heinlein 746 quotes

But goodness alone is never e...

But goodness alone is never enough. A hard, cold wisdom is required for goodness to accomplish good. Goodness without wisdom always accomplishes evil.

Abstract knowledge is always useful, sooner or later.

Robert Heinlein 746 quotes

A long and wicked life follow...

A long and wicked life followed by five minutes of perfect grace gets you into Heaven. An equally long life of decent living and good works followed by one outburst of taking the name of the lord in vain- then have a heart attack at that moment and be damned for eternity. Is that the system?

Robert Heinlein 746 quotes

Violence never settles anything should be debated by the ghosts of Hitler and Stalin, with the city fathers of Carthage as referees.

Cats have no sense of humor, they have terribly inflated egos, and they are very touchy.

He's as weird as snake's suspenders but sweet as a stolen kiss, too.

Boats and ships are female because they are beautiful, lovable, expensive and unpredictable.

Oh, you have to charge 'em, Jubal. The marks won't pay attention if it's free.

Why don't they make more science fiction movies? The answer to any question starting, Why don't they- is almost always, Money.
