I think it was one of the founding fathers that said (or a close approximation) "Be polite to everyone you meet and be prepared to kill them also". Does anyone recall who it was and what the exact saying was?

Read a lot of Heinlein over the years. Which book was this in? Plus saw basically the same saying in The Probability Broach and The Weapon Shops of Isher. Been many years, can't remember the authors of either.

Heinlein said it in "Beyond This Horizon".

I know Clint Smith said that in an interview.
