“The banks themselves were doing business on capitals three-fourths of which were fictitious. This fictitious capital... is now to be lost, and to fall on somebody; it must take on those who have property to meet it, and probably on the less cautious part, who, not aware of the impending catastrophe, have suffered themselves to contract, or to be in debt, and must now sacrifice their property of a value many times the amount of the debt. We have been truly sowing the wind, and are now reaping the whirlwind.” Has BeensWisdomValuesFallThreePoliticsLostEconomySacrificeWindAmountPropertyDebtLiberalismContractsCatastropheCautiousSowingWhirlwind Author:Thomas Jefferson

“Of all the human values, three are most important. The foremost is love of God. Where there is love there is sacrifice. There arises purity of heart. There should be a fusion of love, sacrifice and purity. They are not mere human qualities. They constitute vital organs of a human being. They are as essential for a human being as the head, hands and legs for the body. Without these attributes, no one is a complete human being.” ShouldHumansHeartImportantBodyHandsValuesThreeHuman BeingsQualitySacrificeEssentialsMereLegsAriseGod LovePurityAttributesOrgansFusionHuman ValuesHuman QualitiesLove Sacrifice Author:Sathya Sai Baba

“There is a great ladder of religious cruelty, and, of its many rungs, three are the most important. People used to make human sacrifices to their god, perhaps even sacrificing those they loved the best ... Then, during the moral epoch of humanity, people sacrificed the strongest instincts they had, their 'nature,' to their god... Finally: what was left to be sacrificed? ... Didn't people have to sacrifice God himself and worship rocks, stupidity, gravity, fate, or nothingness out of sheer cruelty to themselves?” PeopleHumansImportantUsedHumanityThreeLeftReligiousMoralFateSacrificeRocksWorshipInstinctStupidityCrueltyStrongestGravitySheerNothingnessLaddersEpoch Author:Friedrich Nietzsche

“You got to understand the god thing. It’s not magic. It’s about being you, but the you that people believe in. It’s about being the concentrated, magnified, essence of you. It’s about becoming thunder, or the power of a running horse, or wisdom. You take all the belief and become bigger, cooler, more than human. You crystallize.” He paused. “And then one day they forget about you, and they don’t believe in you, and they don’t sacrifice, and they don’t care, and the next thing you know you’re running a three-card monte game on the corner of Broadway and Forty-third.” PeopleKnowsBelieveHumansCareRunningThreeNextGamesBeliefForgetMagicSacrificeBecomingOne DayEssenceThirdsBiggerHorseDon't BelieveDon't CareCornersCardsFortyBelieve In YouBroadwayThunder Author:Neil Gaiman
