More quotes by Frank Herbert
Laws to suppress tend to strengthen what they would prohibit.
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
The truth always carries the ambiguity of the words used to express it.
Frank Herbert
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
A human being can stand any amount of pain.
Frank Herbert
Men always fear things which move by themselves.
Frank Herbert
Historians exercise great power and some of them know it. They recreate the past, changing it to fit their own interpretations. Thus, they change the future as well.
Frank Herbert
The most persistent principles in the universe are accident and error.
Frank Herbert
Journalism is the entertainment business.
Frank Herbert

Frank Herbert

Frank Herbert
There is not secret to balance. You just have to feel the waves.
Frank Herbert
What is important for a leader is that which makes him a leader. It is the needs of his people.
Frank Herbert
Words are such gross machinery, so primitive and ambiguous.
Frank Herbert
Caution is the path to mediocrity.
Frank Herbert
If you rely only on your eyes, your other senses weaken.
Frank Herbert
The act of saying that things exist that cannot be described in words shakes a universe where words are the supreme belief.
Frank Herbert
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
Scientists seek the lawfulness of events. It is the task of Religion to fit man into this lawfulness.
Frank Herbert
The day hums sweetly when you have enough bees working for you.
Frank Herbert
