A woman is not property, and husbands who think otherwise are living in a dreamworld.

Robert Heinlein 746 quotes

Anything free costs twice as ...

Anything free costs twice as much in the long run or turns out worthless.

Robert Heinlein 746 quotes

Those who refuse to support a...

Those who refuse to support and defend the state have no claim to protection by that state. Killing an anarchist or a pacifist should not be considered "murder" in a legalistic sense. The offense against the state, if any, should be "Using deadly weapons within city limits," or "Creating a traffic hazard," or other misdemeanor.

Love is that condition in which the happiness of another person is essential to your own.

Robert Heinlein 746 quotes

A managed democracy is a wonderful thing... for the managers... and its greatest strength is a 'free press' when 'free' is defined as 'responsible' and the managers define what is 'irresponsible'.

Robert Heinlein 746 quotes

A dying culture invariably ex...

A dying culture invariably exhibits personal rudeness. Bad manners. Lack of consideration for others in minor matters. A loss of politeness, of gentle manners, is more significant than is a riot.

There are no dangerous weapons; there are only dangerous men.

Secrecy is the keystone to al...

Secrecy is the keystone to all tyranny. Not force, but secrecy and censorship. When any government or church for that matter, undertakes to say to its subjects, "This you may not read, this you must not know," the end result is tyranny and oppression, no matter how holy the motives. Mighty little force is needed to control a man who has been hoodwinked in this fashion; contrariwise, no amount of force can control a free man, whose mind is free. No, not the rack nor the atomic bomb, not anything. You can't conquer a free man; the most you can do is kill him.

Robert Heinlein 746 quotes

Never attribute to malice that which can be adequately explained by stupidity. Never underestimate the power of human stupidity.

Robert Heinlein 746 quotes

The lessons of history teach us - if the lessons of history teach us anything - that nobody learns the lessons that history teaches us.

Robert Heinlein 746 quotes

Progress isn't made by early risers. It's made by lazy men trying to find easier ways to do something.

The hardest part of gaining any new idea is sweeping out the false idea occupying that niche.

Robert Heinlein 746 quotes

Liberty is never unalienable;...

Liberty is never unalienable; it must be redeemed regularly with the blood of patriots or it always vanishes. Of all the so-called natural human rights that have ever been invented, liberty is least likely to be cheap and is never free of cost.

Robert Heinlein 746 quotes

In the absence of clearly-defined goals, we become strangely loyal to performing daily trivia until ultimately we become enslaved by it.

Robert Heinlein 746 quotes

It is a bad sign when the peo...

It is a bad sign when the people of a country stop identifying themselves with the country and start identifying with a group. A racial group. Or a religion. Or a language. Anything, as long as it isn't the whole population.

Robert Heinlein 746 quotes

At least once every human sho...

At least once every human should have to run for his life, to teach him that milk does not come from supermarkets, that safety does not come from policemen, that 'news' is not something that happens to other people. He might learn how his ancestors lived and that he himself is no different--in the crunch his life depends on his agility, alertness, and personal resourcefulness.

Robert Heinlein 746 quotes

You can sway a thousand men by appealing to their prejudices quicker than you can convince one man by logic.

Robert Heinlein 746 quotes

Remember though, your best weapon is between your ears and under your scalp -provided it's loaded.

Robert Heinlein 746 quotes

Whether the authorities be in...

Whether the authorities be invaders or merely local tyrants, the effect of such [gun control] laws is to place the individual at the mercy of the state, unable to resist.

Robert Heinlein 746 quotes

I think perhaps of all the things a police state can do to its citizens, distorting history is possibly the most pernicious.
