Is unfulfilled ambition the purpose of life? That must be quite hard to achieve, if not impossible.

Those who take up space should take up as much as possible, then try to grab some more for the cause.

If you go and do something you want to do, like as not you will be watched while you do it; but who is watching you and for what reasons, if you are so worth watching by those who like to watch what other people want to do when they do it?

Some people will come up to some sort of metaphorical brick wall in life and stand there looking at it; others recognize it for what it is and turn around and walk off in another direction.

In very many situations people will seek to impose their will upon you, and if you don’t notice them doing it you’ll let them.

If you can find your place in society they’ll pat you on the back as if you deserve it, rather than kick you up the backside like you deserve it when you don’t.

Celebrities must have a public face, and a private face; but no matter where they are they’re always performing to an audience.

When you realize that you can have memories that you don’t want, what you do to acquire them becomes that which it is important to avoid.

The potential loser must choose to loose in a potentially advantageous environment; indeed, quietude and calmness of mind must have already taken possession of his being.

You can get someone down at cost price if he gives it to you on a plate; however, you still have to exercise extreme caution at appropriate instances of this.

What are haunting memories other than irritating reflections on what might have been better off left unseen yet again?

If you’re not careful with what you’re selling, when what’s left of it gets to be got, what you’ve got won’t be worth getting by those who go out and get what’s worth to be got anyway.

Monkey-magic comes straight out of the backscratchers ethical shit-hole of a life; and yet you must expect to be trained when and where to smile about it all, after all.

Essentially, life is a maze in which you can so easily take the wrong turning on the way to the bathroom once too often, and then simply blame the resultant mess on someone else.

As body language always reveals our true feelings, so then if you look like a psychopath, then you probably are.

What many clever, extrovert, self-centred men often enjoy is an audience high: that self-sustaining pleasure only produced by titillating the fancy of a select group of participants, preferably enacted whilst standing up to increase the auditory authority of their verbal ejaculations and as a dominance posture––monkeys, one and all!

If you can’t even learn what there is to learn when it’s there to be learnt, you can’t even learn how much of a fool you really are either.

To live life in your own way you’re generally going to have to push people aside, or they’ll generally push you aside first.

Outrageous laughter: that which pins the insignificant tale of the preposterous primate right back on the monkey’s backside where it belongs.

Getting caught is so often so much more interesting than going free, and everyone should try it on for size at least once before he dies, to see how much it suits him.

If someone tells you, “It’s frightening!” it may be so, but that’s not necessarily what is meant by it.

If someone is mildly cynical about wealthy people who own Porches, then he probably doesn’t have one, but if he did he’d prefer a Ferrari.

A true cynic is someone who knows the highly theoretical value of virtue and the purely personal cost of losing it.

Learn to study the intensely studied look on the faces of people around you, and you can look intensely studied as well.

Those who have bubbly, outgoing, friendly personalities have found a way of getting on that works well for them. However, they’re not that way all the time.

Laughing stocks always remain very popular with people, as they give them something to laugh about so often.

You can be attacked just as quickly for something you haven’t done, just as easily as it is to be attacked for something you have done.

There are highly intelligent but devious, deceitful, and manipulative people around who use those close to them to advance their own ends; those who do this best also know that they only live for a short while anyway.

You begin to do things wrong for yourself when you don’t put the required effort into doing what you want to do, but if you don’t know what to do, what then?

Older men who once were young find the extremely stupid actions of young men to be highly amusing, as if they’re simply being amusing they’re doing it wrong.

Old men like to show you pictures of how they looked when they were young, and say: “That’s what I was like when I was your age.” But they’re not are they.

Society is all about people who like or dislike you, once you can appreciate this you can use society for your own advancement, just like everyone else does. But let’s not be nasty about it.

People who don’t care for you much are generally obvious by their countenance: either a smile or a thrown.

Nine out of ten nutcases are shouting that they’re normal when the normal people come to take them away in straightjackets; that’s because, on average, nine out of ten people in society are normal.

Someone you know well who doesn’t choose to be helpful to you when you ask him to be, must then be opposing you in some way mustn’t he? But why then should he want to be helpful to you anyway?

There’s a certain action that occurs when you meet someone; it’s not to do with good manners or with hospitality, as it’s to do with displays of dominance and subservience and boils down to basic instinct.

If you ever see someone you used to know slightly looking at you as if you weren’t there, go and give him a bit of a chat-up, he’ll appreciate it.

Occasionally some bloke might like to come up behind you and give you a bit of a nudge with one of his shoulders, just to see if you’re wet behind the ears or you’re a bit queer or something. He’s not trying to be friendly, but you can always ask: “Why did you do that for?” and, obligingly enough, he’ll tell you.

Infatuation is something funny you can feel when you don’t realize that the object of your most intensely felt desires, simply sees you as some kind of object.

Concentrated intensity is a worthwhile description of human endeavour, which leads to an accurate description of basic human nature.

Life is something exquisitely temporary to be lived best as you live it well, then you can really live it.

Never trust anyone just being nice to you, as it’s what he isn’t thinking is what you’ve got to worry about.

You need a “will to power” to get along in this world or you wilt, dry up and blow away.

Life put under pressure in some ways behaves much like a rubber band would: you try to pull on it and it stretches out, increasing the distance from the two ends until eventually, with the increase in tension, it just snaps on you—just like that!

In society acceptance is the touch mark of your sense of “identity” with it; if you pursue it you have a basis there for your self-esteem and will be numbered among the men who think likewise.

When you’re being ignored you probably won’t realize it unless you accidentally step on someone’s toes, then you’ll know it.

Never ask the man who stands in front of you why he does so, as he might have a good reason.

If you’re sly, slippery as an eel, cunning, sophisticated, suave, handsome is as handsome does, it takes a lot of doing, but if you’re getting what you want you’re doing it right.

If you must court it (whenever you must need to), as a man, at what point do you consider that you achieve acceptance from men who give you the long cold stare?

If you’re odd it may be a long time before you realize that people aren’t going to stop talking about you, as it’s what people do best.

Never turn your back on a stranger who is being open, friendly and helpful, as he may just find that too tempting an opportunity to resist doing something completely natural about it.

Feelings are false, a chimera, a mirage: become a machine and you can do anything you want to, if you really want to.

To be a good conversationalist the trick is to get it out there and keep on going; you may be a right bore, but at least nobody will accuse you of being quiet.

You may be “the quiet type”, as it’s easy enough to be like that, but it isn’t going to get you what you really want from a society of socializing sycophants.

Anger is something that gives righteous indignation something to bite with, although it’s not something to lose control of in case it bites you back.

Those who are hospitable know that hospitality spawns hospitableness amongst groups of hospitable people socializing, but where will it all end?

If you do silly, pathetic things on occasion, do you know why you do them? Or is it just another eccentric hobby taken up to pass the time?

If you always go for your best, then you can become the best cobbler in the world.
