"There has grown up in the minds of certain groups in this country the notion that because a man or corporation has made a profit out of the public for a number of years, the government and the courts are charged with the duty of guaranteeing such profit in the future, even in the face of changing circumstances and contrary public interest. This strange doctrine is not supported by statute nor common law. Neither individuals nor corporations have any right to come into court and ask that the clock of history be stopped, or turned back, for their private benefit."

"Wisdom includes not getting angry unnecessarily. The Law ignores trifles and the wise man does, too."

"‘Honest work’—a euphemism for underpaid bodily exertion, done standing up or on your knees, often in bad weather or other nasty circumstances, and frequently involving shovels, picks, hoes, assembly lines, tractors, and unsympathetic supervisors.

"To that extent, I think that science fiction, even the corniest of it, even the most outlandish of it, no matter how badly it's written, has a distint therapeutic value because all of it has as its primary postulate that the world does change. I cannot overemphasize the importance of that idea. Unless you believe that, unless you are prepared for it—as I know all of you are—you can't retain your sanity these days."

"An insult is like a drink; it affects one only if accepted."
