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

Robert Heinlein 746 quotes

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.

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

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.

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'.

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

When any government, or any church for that matter, undertakes to say to its subjects, This you may not read, this you must not see, this you are forbidden to know, the end result is tyranny and oppression no matter how holy the motives.

Yield to temptation. It may not pass your way again.

May you live as long as you wish and love as long as you live.

A society that gets rid of all its troublemakers goes downhill.

It is a truism that almost any sect, cult, or religion will legislate its creed into law if it acquires the political power to do so.

Robert Heinlein 746 quotes

Don't ever become a pessimist... a pessimist is correct oftener than an optimist, but an optimist has more fun, and neither can stop the march of events.

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 746 quotes

Love is that condition in which the happiness of another person is essential to your own... Jealousy is a disease, love is a healthy condition. The immature mind often mistakes one for the other, or assumes that the greater the love, the greater the jealousy.

Never underestimate the power of human stupidity.

The difference between science and the fuzzy subjects is that science requires reasoning while those other subjects merely require scholarship.

For me, politeness is a sine qua non of civilization.

An armed society is a polite society. Manners are good when one may have to back up his acts with his life.

Political tags - such as royalist, communist, democrat, populist, fascist, liberal, conservative, and so forth - are never basic criteria. The human race divides politically into those who want people to be controlled and those who have no such desire.

A competent and self-confident person is incapable of jealousy in anything. Jealousy is invariably a symptom of neurotic insecurity.
