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

From Robert A. Heinlein

I am free because I know that I alone am morally responsible for everything I do. I am free, no matter what rules surround me. If I find them tolerable, I tolerate them; if I find them too obnoxious, I break them. I am free because I know that I alone am morally responsible for everything I do.

From Robert A. Heinlein

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

From Robert A. Heinlein

Don't handicap your children by making their lives easy.

From Robert A. Heinlein

One of the sanest, surest, and most generous joys of life comes from being happy over the good fortune of others.

From Robert A. Heinlein

Everything is theoretically impossible, until it is done.

From Robert A. Heinlein

Writing is not necessarily something to be ashamed of, but do it in private and wash your hands afterwards.

From Robert A. Heinlein

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.

From Robert A. Heinlein

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

From Robert A. Heinlein

There is no way that writers can be tamed and rendered civilized or even cured. The only solution known to science is to provide the patient with an isolation room, where he can endure the acute stages in private and where food can be poked in to him with a stick.
