Sympathy for the enemy -- a weakness of police and armies alike. Most perilous are the unconscious sympathies directing you to preserve your enemy intact because the enemy is your justification for existence.
Frank Herbert
Image
Power attracts the corruptible. Suspect any who seek it.
Frank Herbert
Image
To know the future absolutely it to be trapped into that future absolutely. It collapses time. Present becomes future.
Frank Herbert
Image
To determine if you're human. Be silent.
Frank Herbert
Image

Ecology is often confused with environmentalism, while in fact, environmentalism often leaves out the fact that people, too, can be a legitimate part of an ecosystem.
Frank Herbert
Image
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.

If you rely only on your eyes, your other senses weaken.
Frank Herbert
Image
If you believe certain words, you believe their hidden arguments. When you believe something is right or wrong, true or false, you believe the assumptions in the words which express the arguments. Such assumptions are often full of holes, but remain most precious to the convinced.
Frank Herbert
Image
The convoluted wording of legalisms grew up around the necessity to hide from ourselves the violence we intend toward each other. Between depriving a man of one hour from his life and depriving him of his life there exists only a difference of degree. You have done violence to him, consumed his energy.
Frank Herbert
Image
Once human beings realize something can be done, they're not satisfied until they've done it.
Frank Herbert
Image
The purpose of argument is to change the nature of truth.
Frank Herbert

When you think to take determination of your fate into your own hands, that is the moment you can be crushed. Be cautious.
