All that is required for the triumph of evil is for good men to be given good jobs.
Prejudice is another word for experience.
It’s not Right or Left that matters, it’s Right or Wrong
Homeopathic dog training. (Whisper the commands under your breath.)
When I attended university, students were told to question authority. Today, students are told to question their gender.
Feminism harnessed the political power of women who couldn’t get a date on Saturday night (and ensured their ranks swelled.)
A woman is like a musical instrument. Her husband must become a musician.
Our true wealth is measured by the things we love.
I don’t have to avoid temptation; temptation avoids me.
As an ethnic Jew, I assimilated into the mainstream Christian culture.
As if I became a Cherokee in 19th century America.
A man’s religion is his day. (It’s not what you believe; it’s what you do.)
You have to be good to feel good. (Or, at least look good.)
The law of personalities. Big personalities should marry little personalities.
In choosing a mate, seek someone with lower self-esteem than you.
I looked in vain for someone to believe in me when I wouldn’t believe in myself. No one believes in people who don’t believe in themselves. We seek from others the Belief we won’t give ourselves.
I am solar-powered. I don’t want to get up on an overcast day.
Most of our problems are due to “humanism” – the idea that man is the measure of all things. Humanism is a solipsism. God Consciousness is the measure of all things. What people say or do is best ignored unless it manifests Consciousness. But the best place is to find God is not in art or knowledge, or other people, but in ourselves.
I have a great future behind me.
Like Egypt and Greece, I peaked too early.
——
Over time, physical beauty fades but love grows.
We are grains of sand in a desert of time.
I am the “Father of Socio-dynamics.” (I wanted to be the “Father of Hygiene” but my son wouldn’t change his name.)
Three laws of socio-dynamics. 1. We are attracted to people who have something we want. 2. We are repulsed by people who want something from us. 3. We are indifferent to people who don’t fall into either category above. Special Fourth Law - We are attracted to people who may have something we may want in the future.
(Organized Jewry is Communism)
Attending university “remotely” is like ordering take-out from Hooters.
Life begins with exalted expectations followed by a long, gradual disillusionment until finally,
we meet death with perfect equanimity.
Death is our final humiliation. So why be attached to this world when you know it’s only temporary?
Is someone who admits he is a hypocrite still a hypocrite?
I don’t want to be on your “to-do” list.
I am an old man but I don’t feel like an old man.
I have never been happier in my life, but I’m still miserable. (Just kidding.)
“It was an up-day in the bear market of his mind.”
The way to impress women – Don’t Try.
Nothing demystifies women like marriage.
People don’t age so much as ripen and spoil, like bananas.
(l. Lindsay Lohan)
The older I get, the younger I feel. (The Truth does make you free.)
If you live each day like it’s your last, do you still have to clean the house?
Me: You can’t teach an old dog new tricks.
Wife: Yes you can, but you’re not a dog.
Teaching was bringing answers to people who had no questions. [They were the wrong answers (I was a socialist) but the observation still applies.]
A professor-evaluation asked, “what is the best thing about Dr. Makow’s class?”
One girl answered, “Not too early in the morning, and not too late in the afternoon.”
My default response to life is a combination of denial and disbelief. I am afraid to live it.
As “Lao Tzu”
The mind is a prison where thoughts torture the soul.
The pursuit of happiness is the main cause of unhappiness.
We have a stark choice: Conversion (to God’s service) or endless thankless Diversion.
We are slaves to the world inversely to our devotion to God.
Empty your mind of all thought. What’s left is the real you. (Why do we assume we must think all of the time?)

Lol. OK Mr. Makow. You did make me laugh a couple of times. But I still prefers your hardcore Truth. Your unusual early years are quite interesting, but lol. Who has time left after trying to hunt down the Truth.
Ha. Can you tell us what is really going on?
Give us Some Truth Doc.
