Some things being propounded by some individuals have just got to be rejected straight out, preferably in time for it to be noticed by whosoever is being rejected along with it at the time.
Have no clawing, clinging, sickly-sweet un-tempered sympathy for the halt and the lame, the infirm and the sick, the old and the crippled; for deep, deep down they would probably rather it happen to you instead.
Where you are consistently and persistently attacked, then you must need to find indirect ways of fighting back.
Weasels you find all have one good reason for being weasels: to enjoy themselves at the expense of those who aren’t.
In reality there is no second chance, unless you make it first out of your own life’s blood.
Catering for courtesy is a means of avoiding the darts of discontent that are thrown at you, by those waiting for you to show a profound lack of tact.
If you don’t want to be manipulated you must learn to be manipulative; there is no in between for a flash in the pan of the likes of a man.
When you are disliked you will also be attacked in some way, even if you don’t realize the full effectiveness of it.
What everyone likes best is to have a good laugh at your expense––think about it.
You attack people with crap, and understand while you’re about it that crap is what you use to attack with.
Many people compromise with what they can get. This is a fact of life. However, it may not be so bad after all.
It is part of human nature to think one thing and say another thing even more stupid than the thing thought of, and not to notice doing it either.
If you’re not doing it right you’re just doing it wrong; so why not go and do it right while you still have time? This may involve opposing the will of others, and rightly so.
There’s a certain style, a flair, a knack that goes along with a certain individual’s character, which says: “I’ll negotiate for what I want in a way that will get what I want, and I’ll be smiling all the way.” He must have a bit of that “smiley culture” about him.
If you ever feel you simply cannot betray a friend without him noticing, get someone else to do it instead; in that way you keep a friend and make a new one.
About Me
- Drew Byrne
- Basically, I am someone interested in quotations, those mainly being of an aphoristic form; consequently, I have collected many examples together over the years, ones which I most liked, warmed to, or appreciated. Although most of these I cannot really now recall without looking them up, and so I supppose are not of much use except as written ornaments to an inefficient memory, but so it goes. I am interested in archaeology, history, and antiques, although not as much as I once was. Philosophy, also, has interested me from time to time, although I never learned much about it. It has been said (although certainly not by me) that “in time, most men become philosophers, although not particularly good ones.” I can say without much hesitation that that I am one of these fellows.
