Never trust machinery more complicated than a knife and fork.

Hit it! You have to hit it harder than that. Electrons are timid little things but notional; you have to let them know who’s boss.

He never gave up his search for the Door into Summer.

A pacifist male is a contradiction in terms. Most self-described "pacifists" are not pacific; they simply assume false colors. When the wind changes, they hoist the Jolly Roger.

Small change can often be found under seat cushions.

But when they began handing out doctorates for comparative folk dancing and advanced fly-fishing, I became too stink in’ proud to use the title. I won’t touch watered whiskey and I take no pride in watered-down degrees.

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

Robert Heinlein 746 quotes

In this complex world, the scientific method, and the consequences of the scientific method are central to everything the human race is doing and to wherever we are going.

It was equally imperative that this chain of reactions should always tend to dampen, to die out. It must not build up, or the uranium mass would explode within a time interval too short to be measured by any means whatsoever. Nor would there be anyone left to measure it.

Some logics get nervous breakdowns. Overloaded phone system behaves like frightened child. Mike did not have upsets, acquired sense of humor instead. Low one. If he were a man, you wouldn't dare stoop over. His idea of thigh-slapper would be to dump you out of bed — or put itch powder in pressure suit.

I believe in - I am proud to belong to - the United States.

If I had found out anything, it was that they could print it faster than I could study it.

Random chance was not a sufficient explanation of the Universe---in fact, random chance was not sufficient to explain random chance; the pot could not hold itself.

Robert Heinlein 746 quotes

There is no way that writers can be tamed and rendered civilized. Or even cured.

Logic is a feeble reed, friend.

A "critic" is a man who creates nothing.

But space travel can't ease the pressure on a planet grown too crowded not even with today's ships and probably not with any future ships-because stupid people won't leave the slopes of their home volcano even when it starts to smoke and rumble. What space travel does do is drain off the best brains: those smart enough to see a catastrophe before it happens, and with the guts to pay the price-abandon home, wealth, friends, relatives, everything-and go. That's a tiny fraction of one percent. But that's enough.

Under our system every voter and officeholder is a man who has demonstrated through voluntary and difficult service that he places the welfare of the group ahead of personal advantage.

Robert Heinlein 746 quotes

All normal human beings have soi-disant mixed-up glands. The race is divided into two parts: those who know this and those who do not.

You don’t pay back, you pay forward.
