Do not handicap your children by making their lives easy.
Notebooks of Lazarus Long (Intermission)
from Robert A. Heinlein
Моята криворазбрана представа за света!

The trouble is that God in this sophisticated, physicist’s sense bears no resemblance to the God of the Bible or any other religion. If a physicist says God is another name for Planck’s constant, or God is a superstring, we should take it as a picturesque metaphorical way of saying that the nature of superstrings or the value of Planck’s constant is a profound mystery. It has obviously not the smallest connection with a being capable of forgiving sins, a being who might listen to prayers, who cares about whether or not the Sabbath begins at 5pm or 6pm, whether you wear a veil or have a bit of arm showing; and no connection whatever with a being capable of imposing a death penalty on His son to expiate the sins of the world before and after he was born.
The Nullifidian (Dec 94)
from Richard Dawkin
People who go broke in a big way never miss any meals. It is the poor jerk who is shy half a slug who must tighten his belt.
Notebooks of Lazarus Long (Intermission)
from Robert A. Heinlein
Your enemy is never a villain in his own eyes. Keep this in mind; it may offer a way to make him your friend. If not, you can kill him without hate – and quickly.
Notebooks of Lazarus Long (Intermission)
from Robert A. Heinlein
Moving parts in rubbing contact require lubrication to avoid excessive wear. Honorifics and formal politeness provide lubrication where people rub together. Often the very young, the untraveled, the naive, the unsophisticated deplore these formalities as “empty,” “meaningless,” or “dishonest,” and scorn to use them. No matter how “pure” their motives, they thereby throw sand into machinery that does not work too well at best.
Notebooks of Lazarus Long (Intermission)
from Robert A. Heinlein
Throughout history, poverty is the normal condition of man. Advances which permit this norm to be exceeded–here and there, now and then–are the work of an extremely small minority, frequently despised, often condemned, and almost always opposed by all right-thinking people. Whenever this tiny minority is kept from creating, or (as sometimes happens) is driven out of a society, the people then slip back into abject poverty. This is known as “bad luck.”
Notebooks of Lazarus Long (Intermission)
from Robert A. Heinlein
To surrender to ignorance and call it God has always been premature, and it remains premature today.
from Isaac Asimov
Of all the strange „crimes“ that human beings have legislated out of nothing, „blasphemy“ is the most amazing – with „obscenity“ and „indecent exposure“ fighting it out for second and third place.
Notebooks of Lazarus Long (Intermission)
from Robert A. Heinlein
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 divine attributes simultaneously, I have a wonderful bargain for you. No checks, please. Cash and in small bills.
Notebooks of Lazarus Long (Intermission)
from Robert A. Heinlein
You can have peace. Or you can have freedom. Don’t ever count on having both at once.
