More quotes by Frank Herbert
We faced it and did not resist. The storm passed through us and around us. It's gone, but we remain.
Frank Herbert
Good governance never depends upon laws, but upon the personal qualities of those who govern. The machinery of government is always subordinate to the will of those who administer that machinery. The most important element of government, therefore, is the method of choosing leaders.
Frank Herbert
Technology is both a tool for helping humans and for destroying them. This is the paradox of our times which we're compelled to face.
Frank Herbert

They say they seek security and quiet, the condition they call peace. Even as they speak they create the seeds of turmoil and violence.
Frank Herbert
Give as few orders as possible, his father had told him once long ago. Once you've given orders on a subject, you must always give orders on that subject.
Frank Herbert
My lungs taste the air of Time,Blown past falling sands.
Frank Herbert
Words can carry any burden we wish. All that's required is agreement and a tradition upon which to build.
Frank Herbert
The mind goes on working no matter how we try to hold it back.
Frank Herbert
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
Thinking you know something is a sure way to blind yourself.
Frank Herbert
