Everything a man needs to see is inside of him  --
thing is, you have to learn how to see it  --   know what to look for.

....(“You ever notice: there’s always a thing to everything!”)
 
 

Believing you know the nature of a surprise gift forestalls its delivery  --   in fact,
the too-long passive anticipation of a prize renders it unrecognizable even if it arrives.
 
 

There was never a beautiful woman who does not in private strike poses in a mirror,
nor a  routine mind that will not through its cyclical thinking
attempt to impress itself with its own reflection.

(Thus do pseudo thinkers  both publicly and privately defame the fine name of, poseur.)
 
 

The good thing about meeting new people is that you can tell them the old lies
about yourself --
.....or else you can have old acquaintances with poor memories  --
      .....or have a poor one yourself.
 

(You see, as always: everything can work out nicely for those who take every possibility into consideration.)
 
 

At best merely brushed by genius are those who declare their genius,
while he who totally confesses his stupidity is the real thing.
…“What, ‘real thing’  --   the real stupid thing?”
            “Whatever.”

Proverb: “Rising water lifts all boats.”
Correction: …"except stupid ones  --  the ones with holes in them."
Thank you.
  No problem.
 
 

If you never say what you will do, you will be able to do more;
and if you never tell what you think, you might learn how to really do so.
 
 

“Good fortune” mainly befalls the young and the sleeping;
the old and awake are either too hip or too experienced to believe in it.
 
 

Gentility & concern are crudeness & disinterest writ smaller  --  and in better hand.

Never underestimate the camouflaged vulgarity of civility    --     or its need.

....”Pa  --  is that why you knock me around like you do?”
         “Just for my own good, you little neural bundle --
           strictly for my own: get-up-outta-bed benefit.”
 
 

‘Tis said that a fool can ask more questions than a wise man can answer,
a maxim which, inside a wise man’s mind/head, collapses --
  --  (but for a reason the fool can never fathom).
 
 

The literate mind by literate words is known;
the awakened mind by nothing is known.

you will never have sufficient interest to shake your own life awake.

Ignorance is not annoying, only unexamined, assumed knowledge: (e.g.
“Gene therapy has ethical problems” --   “Things are either true or false”  --
“God exists or else he does not”).

“How do you know if someone you know is awake?”
  “If there is someone you know intimately who you know nothing personal about.”

nothing other than/but this sort of thing will do.
