"O you who know what we suffer here, do not forget us in your prayers." Dune

People always expect the worst of the rich and powerful, sire. It is said one can always tell an aristocrat: he reveals only those of his vices which will make him popular” Edric (DM)

β€œThe Atreids might play a devious game against enemies, but never against friends and allies, and not at all against family. It was grand into the strides manner: support your own populace to the best of your ability; show them how much better they live under the atreids. Demonstrate your love for your friends by the candor of your behaviour with them.” Duncan Idaho (CoD)

Dune & Religion/Government: 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 too late.

Children of Dune pg. 258. Jessica's remembering some advice Gaius Helen Mohiam gave her... "If you focus your awareness only on your own rightness, then you invite the forces of opposition to overwhelm you. This is a common error. Even I, your teacher, have made it" Somebody needs to explain this to the blue team lol.

From the "Children of Dune": Governments, if they endure, always tend increasingly toward aristocratic forms. No government in history has been known to evade this pattern. And as the aristocracy develops, government tends more and more to act exclusively in the interests of the ruling class - whether that class be hereditary royalty, oligarchs of financial empires, or entrenched bureaucracy. - Politics as Repeat Penomenon: Bene Gesserit Training Manual

"When religion and politics travel in the same cart, the riders believe nothing can stand in their way. Their movement becomes headlong- faster and faster and faster. They put aside all thought of obstacles and forget that a precipice does not show itself to the man in a blind rush until it's too late" - Dune pg. 620

This last bit was p.128-129 of the Ace mass market paperback of God Emperor. And i think it shows you right here what I was angling for with the children of Abraham question *wink*

"Beware of -the- truth, gentle Sister. Although much sought after, truth can be dangerous to the seeker. Myths and reassuring lies are much easier to find and believe. If you find a truth, even a temporary one, it can demand that you make painful changes. Conceal your truths within words. Natural ambiguity will protect you then. Words are much easier to absorb than are the sharp Delphic stabs of wordless portent. With words, you can cry out in the chorus: "Why didn't someone warn me?" "But i -did- warn you. I warned you by -example-, not with words." .... "The only past which endures lies wordlessly within you."

The peregrination with Sister Chenoeh: "I am quite different from leaders and guides. Gods need take no responsibility for anything except genesis. Gods accept everything and thus accept nothing. Gods must be identifiable and yet remain anonymous. Gods do not need a spirit world."

"I have no allies. Only servants, students and enemies" These preceding half dozen or so quotes are all from p.170-180 roughly of the Ace trade paperback edition of God Emperor of Dune

"I point out to you, Marcus Claire Luyseyal, a lesson from past over-machined societies which you appear -not- to have learned. The devices themselves condition the users to employ each other the way they employ machines." "If it falls outside your yardsticks, then you are engaged with intelligence, not with automation."
