Frank Herbert
Power attracts the corruptible. Suspect all who seek it ... We should grant power over our affairs only to those who are reluctant to hold it and then only under conditions that increase that reluctance.
Frank Herbert
The concept of progress acts as a protective mechanism to shield us from the terrors of the future.
Frank Herbert
Thinking you know something is a sure way to blind yourself.
Frank Herbert

Frank Herbert
Think you of the fact that a deaf person cannot hear. Then, what deafness may we not all possess? What senses do we lack that we cannot see and cannot hear another world all around us?
Frank Herbert
If I'd been born in my grandfather's time, I'd have made my grandfather's mistakes. Theres no doubt of it. I just don't want to make my grandfather's mistakes today.
Frank Herbert
Why is it that foolishness repeats itself with such monotonous precision?
Frank Herbert
What do such machines really do? They increase the number of things we can do without thinking. Things we do without thinking-there’s the real danger.
Frank Herbert
We are generalists. You can't draw neat lines around planet-wide problems. Planetology is a cut-and-fit science.
Frank Herbert
A ruler must learn to persuade and not to compel.
Frank Herbert
