I was graduated at Samara State University as mathematician. I collected 14 088 short replies for about 2 000 situation that it is the world record. In my mind I named my manuscript “The book of Complete Religion”. I translated it from Russian to English. Preface: “The great surrounding World became small, contiguous, cramped, closed and quick. It is not productively to look for any complete answer for an inquiry into the gospel, Koran, torah, Hindu, Buddhist, philosophical and other books. It is good to see all contradiction and oppositions at once in one place. There are only four kinds of contradictions and arguments. An interlocutor may commends and praise something. He may condemns and blame something. He may affirm that something exists or lack. Then you formulate a theme (subject) and aim of his speech (saying) by one or two words. Then you could find this theme in alphabetical order and read contrary opinions right away. However, it is not good to say contrary opinions right away. It is better to show some text to an interlocutor. The book includes only well-founded and logical replies. Also it has witty, jocular and confused ones. The book was created on a base of proverbs, sayings (90% great men’s sayings are not well-founded and they were given up), parables, jokes of all nations and times. Some replies were adopted from TV arguments and many different places. New well-founded opinions appear permanently. The book grows like the tree of knowledge (cognition). The book is alive. This is its distinction from other invariable books. Later the book will be biggest, and all jokes fall out. Later it will be the most readable book because everyone could find one’s answer for any query there. Everyone could find confirmation of one’s thoughts there. Everyone could cognizes, understand and take else opinion into account without disdain there.” HABIT (pos.) 1 N is not so old that he (she) was consist only of habits.

HIGH birth (pos.) (see also outward appearance, equality, excited, fame, genealogy, honor, morals, name, superiority) 228 A bed bug has aristocrat’s blood, too. 229 Why I listen nothing about dynasties of Homer, Dante, Shakespeare and so on? 230 The only true king is the one who became king himself, not being born to the throne. 231 It’s better to leave the world well than come into it well. 232 It’s better to boast of one’s son, than one’s forefathers. 233 A high born man will cease to be considered as such if he does not oppose truly value able men, men who made themselves from nothing. 234 Different pies come from the same oven. 235 Butterflies come forth from caterpillars. 236 One must to be capricious since his childhood that he can defend his privileges during whole life. 237 Those of high birth are foolish as a woman. They only dream of being preserved. 238 High birth is always supported by dishonesty and unfairness, which helps the high born people forget about debts and sins of their ancestors. 239 It is impossible to consider oneself to be high born without some part of the soul, being hard-hearted against others. 240 I know high birth’s people. It is a society of those, who wish to consume without producing, to live without serving, to take offices without carrying them out, to receive honor without deserving it. 241 People worry about washing of the oil-bottle more than the milk-bottle. 242 High birth is a fairytale for adults. 243 Usually, farther plants trees, sun gathers fruits, grandson eradicates trees. 244 If the bride is not beautiful what use is the beauty of her parents? 245 Watermelon has a good upright root, but it creeps. 246 Yes, it’s wonderful to have a noted parentage. But it is better to be the kind of person that nobody wants to ask: “Do you have a notable parentage?” 247 If a person can’t be proud of spiritual development then this man takes pride in christening from birth. 248 The bad generation always put its ancestors at the first place. 249 Any foolish donkey may brag that it was his relative that carried Christ. 250 If, in actuality, to every good father was born a good son, then the pretension of a high born people would not seem so foolish. 251 Yes. Everyone may take a legitimate pride in a dead father. Everyone may take a legitimate pride in burnt goodness, too. 252 It happens that even crows lay white eggs. It happens that even wise men have foolish children. 253 What the nonsense! A dry branch is growing on the healthy tree! 254 The fruitless branch of fruitful tree has no use except as firewood. 255 A ruined merchant still keeps his old accounts for a long time. 256 Better a good cow than a cow of good kind. 257 Every family has a skeleton in the cupboard.
HIGH birth (neg.) 258 It is impossible, to clean water flowing out of dirty pitcher. 259 Swans are not white from bathing. 260 A man of low birth is as a burden-bearing yoke. He rises and falls from any trifle. 261 That which is produced from milk is never worse than that which is produced from water. 262 A width of the wall corresponds the width of the foundation. 263 He, who has blood, which is worse than the dog’s, has a great hatred toward those of high birth. 264 All great trees have great roots. 265 What’s wrong with the way, which helps a person to achieve a grandeur without cunning and violence? 266 A sort of apple corresponds to the sort of its tree. 267 He who keeps his roots receives the great fruit. 268 Why should one, endowed with the ability to create children, depart from the path of virtue if the succession of a good name will be honored? 269 He who likes sour milk stirs the cream over the milk with a dirty spoon. 270 He who distributes boons for high birth is a man, but not an animal. 271 Playing to the genetics is the more advantageous among others. It is not a play with zero sums. 272 That’s bad to be poor or to be without kith or kin. Such person has competition with countless number of those, who are equal to them. On the contrary, a rich man or high-birth man receives a powerful support from a great number of people who seek for the same benefit for themselves. 273 People who are not burdened by high birth and traditions will more easily obey a Hitler.
HIGH birth for a believer (pos.) 274 It is possible you will register Christ as lord for his post. 275 You say that you belong to X’s posterity. And I belong to Adam’s posterity. Your words may be doubtful, but my never may.

HIGH rank (pos.) (see also excited, gratitude, honor, merit, self-seeking, superiority) 289 Once, a donkey was named “uncle” for the sake of doing his work. 290 A man who can’t get the respect of other men needs to have a high rank more than other people. 291 What are the ranks for, if they are being forgotten first of all? 292 The highest rank is the name. People know Newton, not his ranks. 293 It’s interesting.
