If there is a doubt, there is no doubt.

It means trust your feelings. If you feel something isn't right, it means something isn't right.

I like this quote because in a civil society, we learn to repress our feelings, discard or distrust them. However, if we learn to connect with them, we can find that they often are spot on.

"We're in America today, and we're ready to roll."
March Borchardy, AMERICAN MOVIE

I can't explain why that has always made me smile. For some reason it makes me feel optimistic. Maybe it is because America used to be touted as the "land of opportunity," and it was said by a guy who was downtrodden and poor, faced all kinds of setbacks, and yet charged ahead. He might not even have enough money to fill his gas tank, but dammit he was going to make a movie!

Ah, Robert Heinlein! Reading Spaceship Trooper always reminds me of my infantry bootcamp summer. Good memories in my case

My favorite quote from him is this famous one:

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.
