More quotes by Frank Herbert
There is not secret to balance. You just have to feel the waves.
Frank Herbert
Too much knowledge never makes for simple decisions.
Frank Herbert
For now is my grief heavier than the sands of the seas, she thought. This world has emptied me of all but the oldest purpose: tomorrow's life.
Frank Herbert
The people I distrust most are those who want to improve our lives but have only one course of action in mind.
Frank Herbert
If we deny emotion, we lose all touch with our internal universe.
Frank Herbert
. . . is to attempt seeing Truth without knowing Falsehood. It is the attempt to see the Light without knowing Darkness. It cannot be.
Frank Herbert

Frank Herbert

Frank Herbert

Frank Herbert

Frank Herbert
Guilt starts as a feeling of failure.
Frank Herbert
The mind goes on working no matter how we try to hold it back.
Frank Herbert

Frank Herbert
Politics: the art of appearing candid and completely open while concealing as much as possible.
Frank Herbert
The power to destroy a thing is the absolute control over it.
Frank Herbert
What are you, child, that you need time to learn about yourself?
Frank Herbert
The day hums sweetly when you have enough bees working for you.
Frank Herbert
I have no fear, for fear is the little death that kills me over and over. Without fear, I die but once.
Frank Herbert
What is important for a leader is that which makes him a leader. It is the needs of his people.
Frank Herbert
