“It is certain that the Jew, if he desired-or if they were driven to it, as the antisemites seem to wish-could now have the ascendancy, nay, literally the supremacy, over Europe; that they are not working or planning for that end is equally sure... The resourcefulness of the modern Jews, both in mind and soul, is extraordinary.” IfsMindSoulEndsSeemsCertainWishModernEuropeExtraordinaryJewDrivenPlanningSupremacyResourcefulnessAscendancy Author:Friedrich Nietzsche
“Who exactly do you want to be? What kind of person do you want to be? What are your personal ideals? Whom do you admire? What are their special traits that you would make your own It's time to stop being vague. If you wish to be an extraordinary person, if you wish to become wise, then you should explicitly identify the kind of person you aspire to become. If you have a daybook, write down who you're trying to be, so that you can refer to this self-determination. Precisely describe the demeanor you want to adopt so that you may preserve it when you are by yourself or with other people.” PeopleIfsWantShouldWritingTryingKindMayPersonsSelfWishWiseSpecialIdealsDeterminationExtraordinaryAdmirePreservesSelf DeterminationTraitsAspireVagueDemeanorExtraordinary Person Author:Epictetus
“Does it take a blanket presupposition for a historian to discount some miracle stories as legendary? No, because, as even Bultmann recognized, there is no problem accepting reports even of extraordinary things that we can still verify as occurring today, like faith healings and exorcisms. However you may wish to account for them, you can go to certain meetings and see scenes somewhat resembling those in the gospels. So it is by no means a matter of rejecting all miracle stories on principle. Biblical critics are not like the Committee for Scientific Investigation of Claims of the Paranormal.” MayMeanDoeStillsMatterStoriesProblemTodayCertainReligionWishHealingAcceptingPrinciplesSceneAccountsMiracleClaimsMeetingsCriticsExtraordinaryParanormalReportsHistorianInvestigationBiblicalCommitteesNo ProblemBlanketLegendaryRejectingExtraordinary ThingsDiscountsVerifyExorcismFaith Healing Author:Robert M.

“Pride measures prosperity not by her own advantages but by the disadvantages of others. She would not even wish to be a goddess unless there were some wretches left whom she could order about and lord it over, whose misery would make her happiness seem all the more extraordinary, whose poverty can be tormented and exacerbated by a display of her wealth. This infernal serpent, pervading the human heart, keeps men from reforming their lives, holding them back like a suckfish.” MenHumansHeartSeemsOrderLeftWishWealthLordPovertyPrideAdvantageMiseryExtraordinaryProsperityDisplayGoddessHuman HeartDisadvantagesSerpent Author:Thomas More
“I wish more people would take the extraordinary talent they have and just let their id go because that's what we discovered. We discovered that the sillier we got, the more people believed that we were speaking from our hearts.” PeopleHeartWishTalentExtraordinary Author:Joss Whedon
