One of the most formative books I ever read. These quotes are useful and mind changing. I love them. I live by some, like "Never make a irrevokable decision when you are emotional, tired, or hungry." Or "When the ship lifts, all bills are paid." And so much more. Imagine that I read these books in 70s and 80s and remember them so we'll

Books of aphorisms from Heinlein. Fun stuff! You can read this in one sitting.

Short quotes that are sometimes funny, sometimes meaningful, and occasionally shows Heinlein's attitude and period he lived in.

Some observations from Lazarus (the ageless man): Never fight a small man, he'll kill you and the best way to tell a lie is to tell the truth so unconvincingly that no one believes you.

I picked this up at a coffeeshop, not knowing what to expect. There are a lot of funny/interesting statements here, but I get the feeling that I would appreciate this more if I read any of the other works be Heinlein. Apparently, this notebook has something to do with his science fiction series.

"History does not record anywhere at any time a religion that has a rational basis. Religion is not strong enough to stand up to the unknown without help." - Robert Heinlein via Lazarus Long

Amazing collection of wisdom and beautiful book if you get a chance to add one to your collection you should. This edition is amazingly illustrated.

I loved this! Some of the things said are funny, or simple, or insightful, or anything else! Heinlein has been one of those authors I hear frequently about from my father and I am so glad he has lent me this illustrated copy (illustrations by D.F.Vassallo). I shall go and buy my own copy to keep and flick through when I need.

Beautifully illustrated and a wonderful collection of thoughts from the character of Lazarus Long.

R.A. Heinlein may have been some kind of insane fascist bonobo (Pan paniscus) and human hybrid.

Wow. I know it's a classic, and required reading for several of Heinlein's other character arcs, but the middle of this was a slog.

Publishing a collection of all the pithiest lines from your books, attributed to your immortal series-spanning wizard, with every other page in illuminated text so you can I guess cut them out and post them around your cubicle to annoy coworkers, may have been the most self-indulgent authorial gesture of all time. That said, many of the quotes and all of the illuminations are great.
