People may be cynical about what they lack but that’s no reason to be cynical about what you lack, just resentful.

Cynicism, to the intelligent individual, is generally a worthwhile substitute for hypocrisy, but not always.

Here, you will not be perceived as what you are, but preferably be perceived as less than what you are.

It has been said that the morality of mankind consists entirely of scratching other people’s backs; but probably not by many moralists, as they like to get their backs scratched.

To be strong, a strong man needs to understand that a weak man is always shorter by a head.

Laziness produces a natural contempt from those who gang up on lazy individuals, even if they don’t think they’re being particularly lazy.

Life is full of resentment and hatred, and a good thing too, or else you wouldn’t know whether you were alive or not––now hustle—then you can join battle armed for the fray like a lustful bull.

Conformity is a ruse to minimize your threatening possibilities; however, you’ll not get on without it—you’ll not.

There are men out there who fear no man but are afraid of fairies having a party at the bottom of their garden.

Use jollity as the weapon that it is and you won’t be surprised when you are attacked by the “concerned suck up for approval approach”.

In positions of authority threat to subordinates does not often produce counter threat (however, subtle continuance for the underdog is the name of the game).

To avoid deluding yourself, be sure to know what you are doing.

Freedom is a monkey-thing, but the primate urge is basically one of conformity of course.

To sit and do nothing all day is not a viable option, it is merely the result of unlicensed thoughtlessness.

What you already know may not surprise you anymore, but it can still rip you apart, eat you whole and leave the pips.

What harm others can do to you bears no comparison to what harm you can do to yourself—although it can be quite as painful.

Where you can honestly blame yourself for your troubles, you don’t have to blame others for it as well.

While you don’t quite understand the games people play, the rules will be obscured also.

Power corrupts, and relative amounts of power corrupt relatively.

When people say, “Are you for real?” at least you can be really irritated at the expense of the realities of it all.

What is the point of standing still in a quiet place if you don’t know where you’re going?

The essence of esoteric knowledge is that it is hidden, specifically from those who could use it most.

Those who think in questions will never be questioned, as they don’t have the answer.

Some men can’t talk and so have no reciprocity, as it’s down to their nature.

If you can dish it out then you’d better be able to push it back––just like piles.

Certain things need one long stare without comment, as if you comment your position is known.

How do you redeem yourself in the eyes of a human lump of shit? You don’t you just step around it.

In the interests of politeness one long belly laugh is better than a quick insult in return for being laughed at, as anything more is probably just being antisocial.

Isn’t it fair to say of the perfect stranger before you, that you would gladly step over his dead body to advance your stride?

Many people don’t seem to know exactly what ebullient means, nor have the will power to look it up in a dictionary that they probably do not possess anyway, as they are afraid of being disappointed, or, at least, afraid of having an anticlimax.

Higher intelligence in the smarter primate: an excellent excuse for a brighter example of talking-monkey to say “fascinating!” at the sight of the stars before he dies.

Life is about endings and beginnings, but more often about endings than beginnings, more often than not.

Be wary of the sort of man who likes to wrap a soft cuddly teddy bear around his head at night, as he’s probably got a perfectly logical reason for doing so.

Be careful of the sort of man who only wears one glove in public places, although he may have a very good reason for it, for he may even be a bit of a golfer on the quiet.

Beware of those who turn their faces aside in closed response, for they probably have a dark secret to keep which really isn’t any of your concern anyway.

The craving for acceptance is one of the most powerful and basic drives of human nature, and to some people one worth dying for; and, if so, to some people also worth killing for as well.

If you should catch anybody just being nice to you knee the fellow in the balls, as he’s just got to learn.

The natural born partygoer it seems must ooze charm from every pore, hence oiling his path about the floor.

To compete effectively you have to have something to compete against; you can’t compete alone hidden away in your room, so something must have put you there.

A strong arm puts strength behind your opinions, from which position you will always be ready to propound one for the public good––if they know what’s good for them.

Intelligence in humans has obviously gone too far, but you won’t get far down the pub with that sort of attitude.

Now let us take great care that by the simple act of omission we do not promote the primary aims and intentions of some other person, above the primary aims and intentions of our own, simply by being too nice about it all in the clinches.

Justify your actions coolly, calmly and collectedly and you may still be in the wrong: either to be wrong or not to be in the right, as that is inevitable.

A man who works hard all week knows how to protect his psyche but take his work away from him and you have discovered his weak link, from whence you can destroy his ego.

You can loose the will to live and just up and die, and people will say of you: “Look at him—he has lost the will to live and has just up and died!”

In the end, the one who gets caught in a trap and can’t get out will always say, “If I had only known!”

When it eventually comes right down to it, you must owe total strangers precisely what they owe you––nothing whatsoever.

Use the group as leapfrogging mounts, as anything else is immoral and un-primate and may even be out of order.

Dull, repetitive, dead boring people should learn to repeat anecdotes about other people in a happy-go-lucky, conversational tone and get to like it too, just like everybody else has to.

The usual type of morally apathetic man has shit for brains, but he always tries to improve his mind through repetition.

If you at least deserve what you get, well, it’s only a question of degree.

Never forget an act of spite that doesn’t go far enough to end it.

Dislike is a palpable force that moves one’s will considerably, directing one’s vital need for social intercourse over towards extremes of posture and position which are inherent within everyday environments of mutual striking down. And that is just the way it is with people, most of the time.

You don’t have to laugh at something because it’s funny, in fact you can laugh at something because it’s un-funny, although why anyone would want to do that is beyond me.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
