laws of nature

A law of nature is not a formula drawn up by a legislator, but a mere summary of the observed facts — a 'bundle of facts.' Things do not act in a particular way because there is a law, but we state the 'law' because they act in that way.

— Joseph McCabe

As I went through all these experiences, I began to compile a list that wasn't written down in any book, only inscribed in my soul. To me these were as universal, dependable, and invariable as the laws of nature. Together they constituted The Forty Rules of the Religion of Love, which could be attained through love and love only.

At the end of the day you are your own lawmaker

Delayed gratification is to have a strong faith in the laws of nature and the principles of God.

Existence is governed by its own law. Here, the things impermanent by nature are bound to meet their end. Hence, with the passage of time, not only Havana'Lanka but "Krishna's" Dark also sinks.

— Deep Trivedi

Fatal felt a spectral change in the air, as if the laws of earth were bowing to greater laws.

— H.P. Lovecraft

God is the set of all the laws of nature.

— Vivake Pathak

Grown men do not need leaders.

Human life begins by crying! Once a baby is born, it cries out. Maybe it cries in joy! So, the simple equation goes-we smile when we feel happy, and we cry when we feel sad. As happiness and sadness are connected together like the body and the soul, we cannot remove sorrow or suffering from the human life forever. As long as life is present, gladness and unhappiness will ever be there. They will keep coming in one form or another. It is just ironical that we want to be happy forever and never want to cry. Even trying to remove sadness entirely from life is like being utterly selfish and going against the natural laws! So, the beauty of life is to accept both pleasure and misery gracefully. Hence, we should never forget that we did not smile first but cried when we were born!

— Md. Ziaul Haque

If God annihilates or creates or deflects a unit of matter, He has created a new situation at that point. Immediately all nature domiciles this new situation, makes it at home in her realm, adapts all other events to it. It finds itself conforming to all the laws. If God creates a miraculous spermatozoon in the body of a virgin, it does not proceed to break any laws. The laws at once take over. Nature is ready. Pregnancy follows, according to all the normal laws, and nine months later a child is born.

— C.S. Lewis
