Men's work

Richard Francis Burton

​Do what thy manhood bids thee do,
from none but self expect applause.
​He noblest lives and noblest dies
​who makes and keeps his self-made laws.
​

Conquer thyself,
till thou has done this, thou art but a slave;
for it is almost as well to be subjected to another's appetite
​as to thine own.

If you can’t laugh together in bed, the chances are you are incompatible, anyway. I’d rather hear a girl laugh well than try to turn me on with long, silent, soulful, secret looks. If you can laugh with a woman, everything else falls into place.

The dearest ambition of a slave is not liberty, but to have a slave of his own.
