It seems to me that the secret of true happiness in life is to know what you are and then be content to be that, in style, head up and proud, and not yearn to be something else....

Robert Heinlein 746 quotes

The faith in which I was broug...

The faith in which I was brought up assured me that I was better than other people; I was saved, they were damned.... Our hymns were loaded with arrogance - self-congratulation on how cozy we were with the Almighty and what a high opinion he had of us, what hell everybody else would catch come Judgment Day.

The best thing about space travel is that it made it possible to go elsewhere.

The Bible is such a gargantuan collection of conflicting values that anyone can prove anything from it.

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

Always listen to experts. They'll tell you what can't be done, and why. Then do it.

Whenever women have insisted on absolute equality with men, they have invariably wound up with the dirty end of the stick. What they are and what they can do makes them superior to men, and their proper tactic is to demand special privileges, all the traffic will bear. They should never settle merely for equality. For women, 'equality' is a disaster.

Do this. Don't do that. Stay back in line. Where's tax receipt? Fill out form. Let's see license. Submit six copies. Exit only. No left turn. No right turn. Queue up and pay fine. Take back and get stamped. Drop deadЂ' but first get permit.

What are the facts? Again and again and again Ђ' what are the facts? Shun wishful thinking, ignore divine revelation, forget what 'the stars foretell,Ђќ avoid opinion, care not what the neighbors think, never mind the unguessable 'verdict of historyЂќ Ђ' what are the facts, and to how many decimal places? You pilot always into an unknown future; facts are your single clue. Get the facts!

Never attempt to teach a pig to sing; it wastes your time and annoys the pig.

But if you didn't have more urgent things to do after supper [in boot camp], you could write a letter, loaf, gossip, discuss the myriad mental shortcomings of sergeants and, dearest of all, talk about the female of the species (we became convinced that there was no such creatures, just mythology created by inflamed imaginations - one boy in our company claimed to have seen a girl, over at regimental headquarters; he was unanimously judged a liar and a braggart).

Robert Heinlein 746 quotes

God is omnipotent, omniscient,...

God is omnipotent, omniscient, and omnibenevolent - it says so right here on the label. If you have a mind capable of believing all three of these attributes simultaneously, I have a wonderful bargain for you. No checks, please. Cash and in small bills.

Stupidity cannot be cured with money, or through education, or by legislation.

The only thing privacy laws accomplish is making the bugs smaller.

Goodness without wisdom always accomplishes evil.

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.

Robert Heinlein 746 quotes

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.
