Master Don Juan
oh really? by only this motto?
hmmm lemme see if I can add one or two more good quotes for you:
On manhood
"I have always believed that when a man gets it into his head to do something, and when he exclusively occupies himself in that design, he must succeed, whatever the difficulties. That man will become Grand Vizier or Pope"..... Casanova
"You are what you are, You are where you are, by what goes into your mind, you can change what you are, you can change where you are by changing what goes into your mind" ....Zig Ziglar
"Men will be nice when nice guys get laid."
"For if you don't STAND for something, you shall FALL for everything!" Dr. Martin Luther King Jr
Character shows in four virtues: Fortitude, prudence, temperance, and justice. A person with good character will persist and endure, chose carefully and thoughtfully, control emotion with reason, operate with equity and fairness. By contrast, a person with poor character will quit easily, behave thoughtlessly, allow mood to conquer intelligence, and act selfishly.
"You can tell whether a man is clever by his answers. You can tell whether a man is wise by his questions."
- Mahfouz, Naguib
That chick you're obssessing over already HAS a p*ssy... she doesn't need another one, so be a man!
Show me the man you honor, and I will know what kind of man you are, for it shows me what your ideal of manhood is, and what kind of man you long to be.
--Carlyle--
Thinking, not growth, makes manhood. Accustom yourself, therefore, to thinking. Set yourself to understand whatever you see or read. To join thinking with reading is one of the first maxims, and one of the easiest.
--Isaac Taylor--
"The true measure of a man is how he treats someone who can do him absolutely no good."
Samuel Johnson (1709 - 1784)
"An expert is a person who has made all the mistakes that can be made in a very narrow field."
Niels Bohr (1885 - 1962)
"I MAKE NO EXCUSES FOR MY DESIRES AS A MAN.
I MAKE NO EXCUSES FOR MYSELF.
I MOVE THROUGH THE WORLD WITHOUT APOLOGY."
Judge a man by his questions and not his answers.
On life
Life is the hardest teacher. For she gives the test first, and the lesson after.
The only thing certain in life, is that it will end in death" -Some Old Movie
"Always remember those you love. Even in death, no one is ever truely gone as long as they are remembered."
"I'm not ashamed of the car I drive,
I'm just happy to be here, happy to be alive,
And it don't matter if you're by my side,
I'm satisfied" - Travelling Wilburys
"If you haven't the strength to impose your own terms upon life, you must accept the terms it offers you." T.S. Eliot
"Life is a single letter of the alphabet. It can be meaningless. Or it can be part of a greater meaning. You choose."
"Life is a witty riddle, so why not have some fun solving it?" --Foreigner
"I have learned that success is to be measured not so much by the position that one has reached in life as by the obstacles which he has overcome while trying to succeed."
-Booker T. Washington
Ben Franklin "Don't waste time, it's the stuff life is made of."
"Eat not to dullness, drink not to elevation".
Ben Franklin.
"What is this Love that so many speak of with such apparent familiarity? Do they truly comprehend how unattainable it is? Are there not as many definitions of Love as there are stars in the universe?"
- The Bene Gesserit Question Book
"When you are sure you know something through and through... be sure, also, that by changing your perspective, you'll know nothing at all"
On women
"Women. They've got half the money in the world and all the pu$$y."
Women are a lot like the sunset, they're beautiful, but there will always be a new one tomorrow
"Women aren't supposed to make sense. If they did, they'd be men."
"The definition of a beautiful women is one who loves me." -Sloan Wilson
Chicks don't think. Chicks feel.
it's easier to steal someone else's girl than to keep your own!
"Don't listen to women who say they crave caring, touchy-feely men. Women only want a sensitive man until a real man walks through the door. As long as men cater to the whims and destructive nature of women, men will continue to bury their rage and become the sissy-boys women don't really want."
-The Misanthropic Bytch
On fear
Fear leads to anger, anger leads to hatred, hatred leads to suffering. (Yoda)
"Risks must be taken, because the greatest hazard in life is to risk nothing"
"You gain strength, courage and confidence by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face" -Eleanor Roosevelt
"Impossible scenarios are brilliantly disguised as opportunies."
The only way to truly fail is to give up trying.
A man of courage is not a fearless man, he is a man who controls his fear instead of let it control him.
"Our doubts are traitors, and make us lose the good we oft might win by fearing to attempt."
William Shakespeare (1564 - 1616)
The biggest risk you can take in life is not to take any risks at all.
On hesitation
Do, or do not, there is no try (Master Yoda)
The journey of a thousand miles starts with a single step...
Hesitation is like masturbation,in the end you're only screwing yourself
Live each of your days as if each is your last. After all, what guarantee is there that you will see tomorrow?

“Advice is what we ask for when we already know the answer but wish we didn't.”

Thomas J. Watson
“The game won’t adapt to you, you must adapt to the game”

A loser says,"It may be possible but its too difficult"
"I haven't failed, I've found 10,000 ways that don't work."
-Thomas Edison
The greatest barrier to achievement or success is not lack of talent or ability but rather, the fact that achievement and success, beyond a certain level, are outside our self-concept - our image of who we are and what is appropriate to us.
The greatest barrier to love is the secret fear that we are unlovable. The greatest barrier to happiness is the wordless sense that happinessis not our proper destiny.

Do not strive to follow in the footsteps of a great man. Strive instead to BE a great man that others will follow.

Specialization is for insects."
