As I mentioned earlier, the quote is from "The Moon is a Harsh Mistress":

"Birth means blood and pain; there has been some. ... I urge you to stay
out of the corridors, avoid incidents that might lead to unnecessary
blood, unnecessary pain. Be Patient."

The words were spoken by "Adam Selene" (the public persona of "Mike",
aka Mycroft Holmes, the computer), in a public broadcast the morning
after the "coup".

Page 195 in one of my copies, the Tom Doherty paperback version, ORB
edition, July 1997. ISBN 0-312-86355-1.

But of course the best-known word from that book is TANSTAAFL.
