. . .the most astonishing, the most surprising, the most marvelous, the most miraculous. . . the greatest, the least, the rarest, the most common, the most public, the most private till today. . . I cannot bring myself to tell you: guess what it is.

Marie de Rabutin-Chantal, marquise de Sevigne

Savage peoples are ruled by passion, civilized peoples by the mind. The difference lies not in the respective natures of savagery and civilization, but in their attendant circumstances, institutions, and so forth. The difference, therefore, does not operate in every sense, but it does in most of them. Even the most civilized peoples, in short, can be fired with passionate hatred for each other.

Carl von Clausewitz

Christianity is the most ridiculous, the most absurd and bloody religion that has ever infected the world.

Voltaire

Empathically accurate perceivers are those who are consistently good at 'reading' other people's thoughts and feelings. All else being equal, they are likely to be the most tactful advisors, the most diplomatic officials, the most effective negotiators, the most electable politicians, the most productive salespersons, the most successful teachers, and the most insightful therapists.

William Ickes

If I've learned anything from social media, it's truly that the most irrelevant people always say the most absurd stuff.

Pat McAfee

At the political level, most Jews and most Catholics have accepted the liberal idea of religious freedom.

David Novak

The Jews are the most hateful and the most shameful of the small nations.

Rene Descartes
