If you know why the first time you’re fooled, you won’t be fooled so easily the next time; as then it’ll be easier for you to understand why you’re being fooled next time you’re being fooled once you understand the process better.
When you can manipulate the manipulators so they don’t know you’re doing it, then you’ll be a “right cunt” indeed, along with the rest of the manipulative “little cunts”.
As a matter of policy be sure to give praise to the blameworthy, and blame to the praiseworthy; anyone else who is just a little confused you can tell to “fuck off!”
Self-esteem, self-help, self-motivation, self-reliance and self-fulfilment, all produce selfishness, which is a necessity for living well in a selfish environment.
Familiarity in social circles encourages contempt, and the more familiar you are the more contemptible you can become.
Sometimes, when you’re pushed you don’t want to know, which at times is often a good way to look at it, and at other times it isn’t.
No one farts at dinner parties in High Society simply because that, from a very early age, they’re told in deportment lessons where exactly to put the champagne cork.
There are those who constantly seek for the mysteries of life in their own minds, and then there are those who constantly go down the local pub for a good booze-up instead.
Some people can take only so much truth; so don’t go giving it all up to those sorts of people just because they’re asking for it.
Most people are not that pleasant, and that’s all right, as not many are; they can all go and die some place else, and sooner or later they usually do.
For everyone who is “asking for it,” did he really ask for it all that much, or are you?
All fools must think, on comparison, that they’re smarter than the other fools that have gone before them, but can they prove it?
If someone asks you why you do as you do, then your reasons are all your own.
Sometimes, you may have just gotten the wrong end of the stick: the appreciation of this fact is of paramount importance.
Why let someone else tell you what to do with yourself when you can tell yourself much better than that?
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.
