The power to destroy a thing is the absolute control over it.
Frank Herbert
There is not secret to balance. You just have to feel the waves.
Frank Herbert

Frank Herbert
Parting with friends is a sadness. A place is only a place.
Frank Herbert
Any man who retreats into a cave which has only one opening deserves to die.
Frank Herbert
To know the future absolutely it to be trapped into that future absolutely. It collapses time. Present becomes future.
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 process cannot be understood by stopping it. Understanding must move with the flow of the process, must join it and flow with it.
Frank Herbert
Men always fear things which move by themselves.
Frank Herbert

Frank Herbert
Often I must speak otherwise than I think. This is called diplomacy.
Frank Herbert
Show me a completely smooth operation and I'll show you someone who's covering mistakes. Real boats rock.
Frank Herbert

Frank Herbert
A stone is heavy and the sand is weighty but a fool's wrath is heavier than them both.
Frank Herbert
Most men go through life unchallenged, except at the final moment.
Frank Herbert
Anything less than abject submission has to have some attack in it.
Frank Herbert
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
The stakes in conflict do not change. Battle determines who will control the wealth or its equivalent.
Frank Herbert
Try to hold on to youth and it mocks you while it sprints away.
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
