More quotes by Frank Herbert
This wise man observed that wealth is a tool of freedom. But the pursuit of wealth is the way to slavery.
Frank Herbert
We can say that Maud'Dib learned rapidly because his first training was in how to learn. And the first lesson of all was the basic trust that he could learn.
Frank Herbert
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
Prophets have a way of dying by violence.
Frank Herbert
All governments suffer a recurring problem: Power attracts pathological personalities. It is not that power corrupts but that it is magnetic to the corruptible. Such people have a tendency to become drunk on violence, a condition to which they are quickly addicted.
Frank Herbert
What you cannot control, you must accept.
Frank Herbert
Demagogues are so easy to identify. They gesture a lot and speak with pulpit rhythms, using words that ring of religious fervour and god-fearing sincerity. Sincerity with nothing behind it takes so much practice. The practice can always be detected. Repetition. Great attempts to keep your attention on words.
Frank Herbert
Love is a very ancient force, which served its purpose in its day but no longer is essential for the survival of the species.
Frank Herbert
Hope clouds observation.
Frank Herbert
There's hope left in these dusty chords. There's a song left in our rusty hearts. We are torn and frayed but love remains.
Frank Herbert
His voice was low, charged with unspeakable adjectives.
Frank Herbert
A person needs new experiences. They jar something deep inside, allowing you to grow. Without them, it sleeps- seldom to awaken. The sleeper must awaken.
Frank Herbert
If there is a difference between what is said and what is done, only a fool believes what was said.
Frank Herbert
If wishes were fishes, we'd all cast nets.
Frank Herbert
To determine if you're human. Be silent.
Frank Herbert
Atrocity never balances or rectifies the past. Atrocity merely arms the future for more atrocity.
Frank Herbert
The gift of words is the gift of deception and illusion.
Frank Herbert
There are limits to power, as those who put their hopes in a constitution always discover.
Frank Herbert
I don't worry about inspiration, or anything like that. It's a matter of just sitting down and working.
Frank Herbert
Bless the Maker and His water. Bless the coming and going of Him. May His passage cleanse the world. May He keep the world for His people.
Frank Herbert
