TANSTAAFL

You guys just don't read enough Heinlein! ;) Lazarus Long is one of my favorite characters! A few good quotes from Time Enough For Love:

1. Progress doesn't come from early risers – progress is made by lazy men looking for easier ways to do things.

2. A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly. Specialization is for insects.

3. A society that gets rid of all its troublemakers goes downhill.

and my all time personal favorite:

4. A poet who reads his verse in public may have other nasty habits.

Thanks for reminding me of him today, Ned! Enjoy that coffee! ;)

Thanks,

Bill
 
Bill, as a kid in elementary school I devoured all of Heinlein's juvenile books (and some of his mature series) along with everything else in the library. I need to go back and revisit him again. One nice thing about flying around the country, you do a lot of reading.
