Multiverse

Alan Guth“It’s hard to build models of inflation that don’t lead to a multiverse. It’s not impossible, so I think there’s still certainly research that needs to be done. But most models of inflation do lead to a multiverse, and evidence for inflation will be pushing us in the direction of taking (the idea of a) multiverse seriously.”
― Alan Guth

Essence

“The truth is not always beautiful, nor beautiful words the truth.”
― Lao Tzu

“The truth is rarely pure and never simple.”
― Oscar Wilde

“Truth does not become more true by virtue of the fact that the entire world agrees with it, nor less so even if the whole world disagrees with it.”
― Maimonides

“Truth resides in every human heart, and one has to search for it there, and to be guided by truth as one sees it. But no one has a right to coerce others to act according to his own view of truth.”
― Mahatma Gandhi

It would seem that what we may have is a personal relationship to that which is the truth.

 

Humility

“Pride makes us artificial and humility makes us real.”
― Thomas Merton

“Humility is to make a right estimate of one’s self.”
― Charles H. Spurgeon

“Humility is the only true wisdom by which we prepare our minds for all the possible changes of life.”
― George Arliss

“Humility is the foundation of all the other virtues hence, in the soul in which this virtue does not exist there cannot be any other virtue except in mere appearance.”
― Saint Augustine

“Our best thoughts come from others.”
― Ralph Waldo Emerson

Life is constant continual dynamic change. We participate in life as we live our lives. We participate in constant dynamic interaction with everything around us. When we effect change in the world we build off what has already changed; indeed what continues to change even as we add our own changes.
