More quotes by Frank Herbert
Try to hold on to youth and it mocks you while it sprints away.
Frank Herbert
We tend to become like the worst in those we oppose.
Frank Herbert
When you think you know something: that is a most perfect barrier against learning.
Frank Herbert
Every judgment teeters on the brink of error. To claim absolute knowledge is to become monstrous. Knowledge is an unending adventure at the edge of uncertainty.
Frank Herbert
The dice cannot read their own spots.
Frank Herbert
The future remains uncertain and so it should, for it is the canvas upon which we paint our desires. Thus always the human condition faces a beautifully empty canvas. We possess only this moment in which to dedicate ourselves continuously to the sacred presence which we share and create.
Frank Herbert
Constitutions become the ultimate tyranny, Paul said. They’re organized power on such a scale as to be overwhelming. The constitution is social power mobilized and it has no conscience. It can crush the highest and the lowest, removing all dignity and individuality. It has an unstable balance point and no limitations.
Frank Herbert
Growth is limited by that necessity which is present in the least amount.
Frank Herbert
The concept of progress acts as a protective mechanism to shield us from the terrors of the future.
Frank Herbert
The day hums sweetly when you have enough bees working for you.
Frank Herbert
It is a wise man that does know the contented man is never poor, whilst the discontented man is never rich.
Frank Herbert
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
When law and duty are one, united by religion, you never become fully conscious, fully aware of yourself. You are always a little less than an individual.
Frank Herbert
Laws to suppress tend to strengthen what they would prohibit.
Frank Herbert
When I need to identify rebels, I look for men with principles
Frank Herbert
The convoluted wording of legalisms grew up around the necessity to hide from ourselves the violence we do to each other.
Frank Herbert
Every civilization depends upon the quality of the individuals it produces.
Frank Herbert
My lungs taste the air of Time,Blown past falling sands.
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
Reason is the first victim of strong emotion.
Frank Herbert
