On a related note, Herbert's "God Emperor of Dune" is an amazing book. Best in the series, in my opinion.

Pretty much every scene/dialogue in it is a worthwhile quote: on leadership, duty, love, humanity...

Check out some of the quotes here (but go read the book!): http://www.goodreads.com/work/quotes/3634588-god-emperor-of-...

Comes up just before Paul does his sandworm trial.

Having not read Dune myself, I was rather hoping you would quote the relevant passage, so that I and those like myself can compare it to the aforementioned military quote, and perhaps derive some insight from it.
