Infinity
The thirst for infinity, proves infinity
-V. Hugo
If the doors of perception were cleansed, everything would appear to man as it is, Infinite. For man has closed himself up, till he sees all things through narrow chinks of his cavern.
-W. Blake
We've all heard that a million monkeys banging on a million typewriters will eventually produce the works of Shakespeare. Now thanks to the Internet, we know this is not true.
-R. Wilensky
Who was it that said, 'I hold the buying of more books than one can peradventure read, as nothing less than the soul's reaching towards infinity; which is the only thing that raises us above the beasts that perish?' Whoever it was, I agree with him.
-A. Edward Newton
You and I are essentially infinite choice-makers. In every moment of our existence, we are in that field of all possibilities where we have access to an infinity of choices.
-D. Chopra
Falsehood has an infinity of combinations, but truth has only one mode of being.
-J.J. Rousseau

Truth
My desire for truth is greater than my desire to be right.
-N Wheeler
If you tell the truth, you don't have to remember anything.
-M Twain
Here's me... here's the truth (gestures around herself). I am all about the truth.
-R Adamson
When I despair, I remember that all through history the way of truth and love have always won. There have been tyrants and murderers, and for a time, they can seem invincible, but in the end, they always fall. Think of it--always.
-Mahatma Gandhi
Never tell the truth to people who are not worthy of it.
-M Twain
A lie can travel half way around the world while the truth is putting on its shoes.
-M Twain
Men occasionally stumble over the truth, but most of them pick themselves up and hurry off as if nothing ever happened.
-W Churchill
In a time of deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act.
-G Orwell
Most men would rather deny a hard truth than face it.
-G Martin
A truth that's told with bad intent, beats all the lies you can invent.
-W Blake
Above all, don't lie to yourself. The man who lies to himself and listens to his own lie comes to a point that he cannot distinguish the truth within him, or around him, and so loses all respect for himself and for others. And having no respect he ceases to love.
-F Dostoyevsky

Faith, Trials & The 10 Commandments
Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. Heb 11:1
Fear brings in bad things, while faith brings good.
In order to know who someone really is deep down inside, they must be caught by surprise. They will either be selfish or selfless. The selfless find each other, the selfish stay by themselves, not trusting anyone. People seek their own kind, matching minds and souls.
Our real selves do not come out until we are tried and tested. We may not even know ourselves, what we are made of, until we are faced with trials so severe that we are either broken or strengthened by the event. We grow more from pain and hardship, than when things are easy.
The only way to make it through troubled times is not to worry about yourself. Devote your thoughts and energy to others.
There are many people who have used childhood hardships as a springboard for tremendous adult spiritual strength.
We are all children of God, and being his children is our common denominator. Many different faiths have a lot of truth. The very fact of arguing, fighting and warring over religion is in direct opposition to Christ's teachings. He asks us to love one another, to treat each other with kindness, whether we are scholars of scriptures or just learning how to pray. There may be more truth in some churches than others, but you have to understand that some people are not ready for the more advanced teachings. Living the ten commandments is hard for a lot of people, so they need simpler laws. As long as they desire to draw closer to Christ, then their hearts are in the right place. There should be no discrimination in people's hearts, no boasting, no selfishness, only words of kindness, encouragement, humor, and love.
- S. Freeman
10 Commandments:
1. Thou shalt have no other gods before me
2. Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image
3. Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain
4. Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy
5. Honor thy father and thy mother
6. Thou shalt not kill
7. Thou shalt not commit adultery
8. Thou shalt not steal
9. Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbor
10. Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's possessions
Then one of them, which was a lawyer, asked him a question, tempting him, saying, Master, which is the great commandment in the law? Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself. On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.
Matt. 22: 36-40

Teach with Love
I cannot save you; you cannot save me; we cannot save each other, only so far as we can persuade each other to receive the truth, by teaching it. When a man receives the truth he will be saved by it. He will be saved not merely because someone taught it to him, but because he received and acted upon it.
- J. F. Smith
When persons manifest the least kindness and love to me, O what power it has over my mind, while the opposite course has a tendency to harrow up all the harsh feelings and depress the human mind.
- J. Smith
In these last days it is essential-even critical-that parents and children listen to and learn from one another.
-M. R. Ballard
And as all have not faith, seek ye diligently and teach one another words of wisdom; yea, seek ye out of the best books words of wisdom; seek learning, even by study and also by faith.
-D&C 88:118
Thou therefore which teachest another, teachest thou not thyself?
-Romans 2:21
What teaching can compare in priceless value and in far-reaching effect with that which deals with man as he was in the eternity of yesterday, as he is in the mortality of today, and as he will be in the forever of tomorrow.
