What is best in life? "To crush your enemies, see them driven before you, and to hear the lamentation of their women!"

Hit hard, hit fast, hit often.

I lie in bed, I tremble and sweat. It's my very existence I've come to regret.

I knew the result, I knew the stakes; every joint hurts, my whole body aches.

My mind is aching, I'm seeing stars, I'm now held captive in a prison without bars.

I was foretold in the future, but I didn't heed it, now, all I can do is wonder, 'where's death when I need it?'

"Do you remember the saddest moment of your life?" “When I realized that I hadn’t killed myself, and I was still alive.”

A power tie is one thing, but a tie clip really seals the deal.

If you're in the market for one, your best bet is a black leather belt with a silver buckle (regular or plaque buckle). Add other belts to your collection like brown, canvas, or suede as extra luxuries. The right black leather belt is a must for dress pants, suits and more.

When the salesgirl tells you, you better size up on your coat because you'd be wearing heavier things underneath, ignore her.

The one shoe every man should own is a black lace-up. You can dress it up or dress it down; it'll work with everything from jeans to suits.

"I’m just a fat guy sitting in the cold." “Why are you sitting in the cold?” “I’m waiting to go to work. I work an overnight security job. I live in Philly, but I take the bus up here and stay for four days each week. I can’t find work in Philly and I’ve got two kids.” “Where do you sleep?” “Starbucks, McDonalds, anywhere I can take a quick nap.”

Whiskey is not meant to be adored. It's meant to be drunk.

Provided you’re parked on the same side of the street as the place you’re leaving, this takes zero time or effort and reflects well on you as a gentleman. However, like with holding entry doors, don’t make a show of running around to the other side of the car if you’re parked in the other direction. If a gesture requires obvious effort and expense, it goes from being gallant to buffoonish.
