More quotes by Frank Herbert

Frank Herbert

Frank Herbert
The purpose of argument is to change the nature of truth.
Frank Herbert
If wishes were fishes, we'd all cast nets.
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 gift of words is the gift of deception and illusion.
Frank Herbert
The writing of history is largely a process of diversion. Most historical accounts distract attention from the secret influences behind great events.
Frank Herbert
Once human beings realize something can be done, they're not satisfied until they've done it.
Frank Herbert

Frank Herbert
Mankind has only one science… its the science of discontent.
Frank Herbert

Frank Herbert
The concept of progress acts as a protective mechanism to shield us from the terrors of the future.
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
A leader, you see, is one of the things that distinguishes a mob from a people.
Frank Herbert
I never thought it would be easy to serve God, she said. I just didn't think it would be this hard.
Frank Herbert
Caution is the path to mediocrity.
Frank Herbert
The hearts of all men dwell in the same wilderness.
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
