In terms of morals there is no such thing as ‘state.’ Just men. Individuals. Each responsible for his own acts.

One man's 'magic' is another man's engineering. 'Supernatural' is a null word.

Never frighten a little man. He'll kill you.

Teaching causes people to go into situations from which they cannot escape, except by thinking. Do not handicap children by making their lives easy.

Most people can't think, most of the remainder won't think, and the small fraction who do think mostly can't do it very well.

Remember this: once the human race is established on more than one planet and especially, in more than one solar system, there is no way now imaginable to kill off the human race.

Do not confuse "duty" with what other people expect of you; they are utterly different. Duty is a debt you owe to yourself to fulfill obligations you have assumed voluntarily. Paying that debt can entail anything from years of patient work to instant willingness to die. Difficult it may be, but the reward is self-respect.
