Book of Mormon and Biggie Smalls

"Sky is the limit and you know that you keep on, just keep on pressin on.
Sky is the limit and you know that you can have what you want, be what you want."
-- Notorious B.I.G.

"Wherefore, men are free according to the flesh; and all things are given them which are expedient unto man. And they are free to choose liberty and eternal life, through the great Mediator of all men, or to choose captivity and death, according to the captivity and power of the devil; for he seeketh that all men might be miserable like unto himself.

And now, my sons, I would that ye should look to the great Mediator, and hearken unto his great commandments; and be faithful unto his words, and choose eternal life, according to the will of his Holy Spirit;" -- 2 Nephi 2:27-28
