Author of quotes: Robert A. Heinlein. Page 3

Advanced age is not a virtue, it can happen to anybody, kind of like a stair fall.

Politics is the way to do things... without a fight. We bargain for every little thing, in some ways inferior to each other, and each thinks cheated it, argue themselves hoarse, and finally, somehow agree, not crashing at the same goals. That's what the policy is. There is another way - to break has these heads... So what happens when one or both parties no longer wish to bargain. That's why I say good even bad policy... because the only alternative is violence and suffering.

People should be able to apologize and fix what can still be corrected.

To bring a woman to tears - that in itself sucks, but don't understand how you managed it, is simply unforgivable.

I have always believed that women can lie as much as they need, and never to be condemned. A lie may be the only way for them to confront a hostile world.

Premenstrual syndrome: just before the onset of the cycle, the woman begins to behave as a man all their lives.

Worth a visit on your own funeral to see who is your true friend!

Life, any life, always seeking to survive and to reproduce themselves. The mind is a by-product of this basic life-tendency.

Man is the only animal that cannot be tamed. When he's comfortable, he whole years behave peacefully as a cow. But when it suits him not to, he is more dangerous than the leopard. This is especially true for women.

... control - means to be able to live in peace with people you don't like.

Many fear dying earlier than from the real danger.

The less deserve the respect of the older, the more they demand it from young people.

But I do not believe that to understand is to forgive. If you get to this point, comes to that start to drool over the fate of murderers, rapists and kidnappers of children, forgetting about their victims. And it is wrong.

I heard all those sweet enlightened speech, which is usually stuffed with kids - about how we must learn to forgive, even the worst people have something good, etc. But if I see a poisonous tarantula, I crushed it with his foot, not beg him to be nice, good spider and stop, please, poison the people. The spider is not to blame, of course, that he is a spider. But the fact of the matter.
