Proper teaching is recognized with ease. You can know it without fail because it awakens within you that sensation which tells you this is something you have always known.

Image
One must cast off old agonies as a snake casts off its skin--only to grow a new set and accept all of their limitations.
Frank Herbert
Image
Most lives are a flight from selfhood. Most prefer the truths of the stable. You stick your head into the stanchions and munch contentedly until you die. Others use you for their purposes. Not once do you look outside the stable to lift your head and be your own creature.
Frank Herbert
Image
When you think to take determination of your fate into your own hands, that is the moment you can be crushed. Be cautious.
Frank Herbert
Image
It is said that there is a principle of conflict which originated with the single cell and has never deteriorated.
Frank Herbert
Image
What I'm saying in my books boils down to this: Mine religion for what is good and avoid what is deleterious. Don't condemn people who need it. Be very careful when that need becomes fanatical.
Frank Herbert
Image
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

Mankind has only one science… its the science of discontent.
Frank Herbert

Frank Herbert
Image
Does a population have informed consent when that population is not taught the inner workings of its monetary system, and then is drawn, all unknowing, into economic adventures?
Frank Herbert
Image
When religion and politics travel in the same cart, the riders believe nothing can stand in their way. Their movements become headlong - faster and faster and faster. They put aside all thoughts of obstacles and forget the precipice does not show itself to the man in a blind rush until it's to late.
Frank Herbert
Image
Law is the ultimate science.
Frank Herbert
Image
We are questioning more than the philosophy behind our dependence upon limited and limiting systems. We question the power structures that have grown up around such systems.
Frank Herbert
Image
Any road followed precisely to its end leads precisely nowhere. Climb the mountain just a little bit to test it's a mountain. From the top of the mountain, you cannot see the mountain.
Frank Herbert
Image
I am not the kind of person I want to be.
Frank Herbert

Every civilization depends upon the quality of the individuals it produces.
Frank Herbert
Image
To know a thing well, know it's limits Only when pushed beyond it's tolerance will it's true nature be seen. -The Amtal Rule
Frank Herbert

My father once told me that respect for truth comes close to being the basis for all morality. 'Something cannot emerge from nothing,' he said. This is profound thinking if you understand how unstable 'the truth' can be.
Frank Herbert
Image
If there is a difference between what is said and what is done, only a fool believes what was said.
Frank Herbert

Whether a thought is spoken or not it is a real thing and has powers of reality.
