Radical statements that flip the world's values on their head

On an ancient mountain side, to an occupied people, these words were ushered in with nine sayings we now call the beatitudes. Thousands of years later they are still turning the world, and the way we live, upside down.

Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted.
Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth.
Blessed are those who hunger and thirst after righteousness,
for they shall be satisfied.
Blessed are the merciful, for they shall obtain mercy.
Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God.
Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called children of God.
Blessed are those who suffer persecution for righteousness' sake,
for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
_{Matthew 5:3-12 (NIV)}
