Caution is the path to mediocrity. Gliding, passionless mediocrity is all that most people think they can achieve.
Frank HerbertThe person who experiences greatness must have a feeling for the myth he is in. He must reflect what is projected upon him. And he must have a strong sense of the sardonic. This is what uncouples him from belief in his own pretensions. The sardonic is all that permits him to move within himself. Without this quality, even occasional greatness will destroy a man.
Frank HerbertNo more terrible disaster could befall your people than for them to fall into the hands of a Hero.
Frank Herbert
