“Most wise men were agreed that it were best
Not to be born, but if that may not be,
Then with the least delay to reach the goal.”

“The women who were best able to grow spiritually and psychologically had married men who were the least able to grow.”

“Learn as if you were not reaching your goal and as though you were scared of missing it”

“If men were only as wise as they are clever…”

“The wise men were all fools, what to do?”

“The Fremen were supreme in that quality the ancients called "spannungsbogen" -- which is the self-imposed delay between desire for a thing and the act of reaching out to grasp that thing.”

“Sure men were born to lie, and women to believe them!”

“About sex especially men are born unbalanced; we might almost say men are born mad. They scarcely reach sanity till they reach sanctity.”

“The heights by great men reached and kept
Were not attained by sudden flight,
But they, while their companions slept,
Were toiling upward in the night.”

“For to err in opinion, though it be not the part of wise men, is at least human.”
