More From Frank Herbert

Faith stands or falls on the truth that the future with god is more satisfying than the one promised by sin. where this truth is embraced and god is cherished above all, the power of sin is broken. the power of sin is the power of deceit. sin has power through promising a false future. in temptation sin comes to us and says: "the future with god on his narrow way is hard and unhappy, but the way i promise is pleasant and satisfying." the power of sin is in the power of this lie.

Although most informed balletomanes would place artistry above technique, artistry without a strong technique is a flaccid, bloodless thing indeed, whereas technique without much artistry can still dazzle us in the manner of the circus or sports arena translated to a higher plane. though the perfect blend of the two elements is the consummation devoutly to be wished, the real enemy of good ballet is not the slight preponderance of one or the other but the prevalence of pantomime--the turning of dance into second-rate theater.

It is the spirit alone that can mortify sin; he is promised to do it, and all other means without him are empty and vain. how shall he, then, mortify sin that has not the spirit? a man may easier see without eyes, speak without a tongue, than truly mortify one sin without the spirit.

I'll not meddle with it; it is a dangerous thing; it makes a man a coward; a man cannot steal, but it accuseth him; a man cannot swear, but it checks him; a man cannot lie with his neighbor's wife, but it detects him. 'tis a blushing, shame -faced spirit, that mutinies in a man's bosom ; it fills one full of obstacles; it made me once restore a purse of gold that by chance i found; it beggars any man that keeps it; it is turned out of all towns and cities for a dangerous thing; and every man that means to live well endeavors to trust to himself and live without it.

Accepting the reality of our sinfulness means accepting our authentic self. judas could not face his shadow; peter could. the latter befriended the impostor within; the former raged against him.

To accept civilization as it is practically means accepting decay.

Many other such substitutes for war will be discovered, but perhaps precisely thereby it will become more and more obvious that such a highly cultivated and therefore necessarily enfeebled humanity as that of modern europe not only needs wars, but the greatest and most terrible wars, consequently occasional relapses into barbarism, lest, by the means of culture, it should lose its culture and its very existence.
