    I think you're thinking of the Mentat chant.

    It is by will alone I set my mind in motion. It is by the juice of Sapho that thoughts acquire speed. The lips acquire stain. The stains become a warning. It is by will alone I set my mind in motion.
    Another handy quote from Dune:
    I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.

    Hmmm... I wrote a C++ template class for a binary tree a few years ago, all the way through it are quotes from Timewarp.

    It just seemed so appropriate! I can't be the only one who's done that...
