Here are a selection of quotes I have collected over the years over attitudes of manhood. Their messages are as relevant now as the time they where written. Following each quote is a little commentary by me. Enjoy!
“Better the man that conquer a thousand men is the one who conquer one, himself.” – Buddha
(Everyone talks about success and achievement, and that the higher you rise socially the better you're regarded upon. But most successful men I know have lost their souls. They don’t know who they are. They are so busy ‘achieving’ and ‘overachieving’ that they lose track of the most important thing in their lives: themselves. Wealth, power and security will not strengthen character and increase wisdom.
Men must realize that there is more to life than what is provided to us by society, and that ancient values of honor, courage and strength are essential to your development as a real man, not society’s idea of a man.)
“If you don't like how things are, change it! You're not a tree.” Jim Rohn
(Stop complaining. Change what you can change and accept what you cannot. Get out there and do your damn best. If it’s a women, a job opportunity or simply that you want to live a life in the mountains alone, by all means, do what you put ur mind to and remember: “It is better to move slowly than not move at all” – Conficius)
“I live for myself and answer to nobody” - Steve Mcqueen
(Start being a jerk. Don't take crap from no-one. Be tough. Accept your darker impulses of raw sexuality and short-tempered anger and learn when to express them, don’t be afraid of them.)
“It's not the men in my life that count, it's the life in my men.” - Mae West
(Start being a little more enthused with life. Start reading philosophy, psychology and anything of interest. Start going out there and overcoming any weaknesses you might have. Work out, get strong, get fit.)
“The only man who is really free is the one who can turn down an invitation to dinner without giving any excuse” - Jules Renard
(Don’t make excuses anymore. Live free. If your freedom pisses people off, so be it. They don’t deserve you anyways. You admire a women sexually? Don’t listen to her problems, say outright "I want you now. Take off your clothes and make love to me". It’s crazy how a little unabashed honesty will get you further than any tactic used to lure women into bed)
“Take care to get what you like or you will be forced to like what you get” - George Bernard Shaw
(You have needs, desires, and goals. Analyze them OBJECTIVELY, see how much they are worth pursuing and pursue what you choose. Don’t just be a slave to your emotions. Control your emotions or they’ll control you (such as when you look back 50 years from now and figure out that tons of cash isn’t making you happy and you wasted your life earning it.)
“The only trouble with resisting temptation is that you may not get another chance” - Anonymous
(You see a women you want, go for it. I shouldn’t be emphasizing this further than the quote has.)
“I do not want to be the leader. I refuse to be the leader. I want to live darkly and richly in my femaleness. I want a man lying over me, always over me. His will, his pleasure, his desire, his life, his work, his sexuality the touchstone, the command, my pivot. I don’t mind working, holding my ground intellectually, artistically; but as a woman, oh, God, as a woman I want to be dominated. I don’t mind being told to stand on my own feet, not to cling, be all that I am capable of doing, but I am going to be pursued, fvcked, possessed by the will of a male at his time, his bidding.” - Anais Nin (French feminist novelist)
(Now do you see that even feminists want to resort to primal female desire? It’s innate. It’s unobjectionable, they want a dominant sexual man.)
“As unrefined and basic as an animal's emotional equipment may be, it is not insensitive to freedom. Somewhere in the archives of crudest instinct is recorded the truth that it is better to be endangered and free than captive and comfortable.” - Tom Robbins
(Don’t follow the path others have laid out for you. Do what you damn please and live with the consequences that maybe things didn’t go your way. Try again. Harder.)
“Danger can only be overcome by more danger” - Greek proverb
(Afraid that by kissing her you'll be rejected? Then don't only kiss her, but give her the most passionate kiss she'll ever feel.)
“Maybe we have to break everything to make something better out of ourselves.” - Chuck Palahniuk
(Society has lied to us. And it’s not only the media. Culture and traditions have been revered and praised by individuals of society, yet they shouldn’t be. You should not be proud of “your” culture, you should be proud of yourself and the ones you love and respect. Culture and traditions are old, outdated modes of living. Transcend these old ways and pave the way for something new.)
“Everyone smiles with that invisible gun to their head.” - Chuck Palahniuk
(Remove the gun from society’s hand and start treating people the way they deserve. They respect you, respect them in return. They don’t respect you, then walk away or confront them, depending.)
“Man is no longer an artist, he has become a work of art.” - Freidrich Nietzche
(Work on yourself as a sculptor would a statue. You are your greatest painting, your greatest written work and your greatest creation.)
“The tragedy is when you've got sex in the head instead of down where it belongs.” D.H Lawrence
(Stop rationalizing women and get out there and meet them.)
“The shortest answer is doing the thing.” - Hemingway
(Just kiss her. Period. Screw the time or place, do it in a restaurant for all I care, but just do it.)
"Lead me, follow me, or get out of my way.” - General George S. Patton
(Others have minds too, and you should always respect that. Don’t be so proud that you a woman second-guessed your decision, just know that if you both agree with a decision, your fine. If she acts like a total b!tch and acts bored or keeps screwing your decisions and not making some of her own, then leave her and go do something else with your time.)
"Pressure makes diamonds.” – General George S. Patton
(Throw yourself out there. If you’re a virgin, hit on the most sexually experienced woman you meet and know one thing: it’s just inserting your penis in her vagina. No big deal. You want her, make damn sure you accept your role as a man and put pressure on yourself to overcome any fears or negative thoughts.)
“When you are content to be simply yourself and don't compare or compete, everybody will respect you.” - Lao Tzu
(You are not Alpha. The guy barking orders to the waiter is not Alpha. You are just a man who understands and accepts himself. Get that through your skull and you won’t need to compete or compare for attention.)
“Take calculated risks. That is quite different from being rash.” - Patton
(Don’t just jump into the middle of the ocean, do it with proper scuba gear and equipment. Don’t just sexually harass a female, make proper sexual actions according to the situation.)
“The superior man acts before he speaks, and afterwards speaks according to his action.” - Conficious
(When you develop proper inner game and mindset, you won’t fvck-up. Do what you feel is right and never let fear or doubt get in the way.)
“A legal kiss is never as good as a stolen one” – Guy De Maupassant
(Be naughty, kiss her when she least expects it and don’t take yourself so seriously. Make it fun.)
“Better the man that conquer a thousand men is the one who conquer one, himself.” – Buddha
(Everyone talks about success and achievement, and that the higher you rise socially the better you're regarded upon. But most successful men I know have lost their souls.
