I do know that the slickest way to lie is to tell the right amount of truth--then shut up.

Robert Heinlein 746 quotes

To get anywhere, or even to l...

To get anywhere, or even to live a long time, a man has to guess, and guess right, over and over again, without enough data for a logical answer.

If possible, leave room for your enemy to become your friend.

Then I glanced at the ring on...

Then I glanced at the ring on my finger. The Snake That Eats Its Own Tail, Forever and Ever. I know where I came from—but where did all you zombies come from? I felt a headache coming on, but a headache powder is one thing I do not take. I did once—and you all went away. So I crawled into bed and whistled out the light. You aren’t really there at all. There isn’t anybody but me—Jane—here alone in the dark. I miss you dreadfully!

Dad claims that library science is the foundation of all sciences just as math is the key -- and we will survive or founder, depending on how well the librarians do their jobs. Librarians didn't look glamorous to me but maybe Dad had hit on a not very obvious truth.

Money is the sincerest of all ...

Money is the sincerest of all flattery. Women love to be flattered. So do men.

Robert Heinlein 746 quotes

Men are expendable; women and ...

Men are expendable; women and children are not. A tribe or a nation can lose a high percentage of its men and still pick up the pieces and go on ... as long as the women and children are saved.

Robert Heinlein 746 quotes

Many short-sighted fools think...

Many short-sighted fools think that going to the Moon was just a stunt. But the astronauts knew the meaning of what they were doing, as is shown by Neil Armstrong's first words in stepping down onto the soil of Luna: 'One small step for a man, one giant leap for mankind.'

Robert Heinlein 746 quotes

Library Science is the key to ...

Library Science is the key to all science, just as mathematics is its language - and civilization will rise or fall, depending on how well librarians do their jobs.

In handling a stinging insect, move very slowly.

If we blow ourselves up we will do it by misapplication of science; if we manage to keep from blowing ourselves up, it will be through intelligent application of science.

Robert Heinlein 746 quotes

If it can't be expressed in fi...

If it can't be expressed in figures, it is not science; it is opinion. It has long been known that one horse can run faster than another - but which one? Differences are crucial.

Robert Heinlein 746 quotes

If a country can't save itself...

If a country can't save itself through the volunteer service of its own free people, then I say : Let the damned thing go down the drain!

Robert Heinlein 746 quotes

Democracy can't work. Mathemat...

Democracy can't work. Mathematicians, peasants, and animals, that's all there is - so democracy, a theory based on the assumption that mathematicians and peasants are equal, can never work. Wisdom is not additive; its maximum is that of the wisest man in a given group.

A fake fortuneteller can be tolerated. But an authentic soothsayer should be shot on sight. Cassandra did not get half the kicking around she deserved.

Another ingredient in a happy marriage: Budget the luxuries first!

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

Being privileged to work hard ...

Being privileged to work hard for long hours at something you think is worth doing is the best kind of play.

Evolution is a process that never stops. Baboons who fail to exhibit moral behavior do not survive; they wind up as meat for leopards.

I believe in my neighbors. I know their faults and I know that their virtues far outweigh their faults.
