Give me the judgment of balanced minds in preference to laws every time. Codes and manuals create patterned behavior. All patterned behavior tends to go unquestioned, gathering destructive momentum.
Frank Herbert
Image
Radicals are only to be feared when you try to suppress them. You must demonstrate that you will use the best of what they offer.
Frank Herbert
Image
When politics and religion are intermingled, a people is suffused with a sense of invulnerability, and gathering speed in their forward charge, they fail to see the cliff ahead of them
