Are you in a universe which is ruled by natural laws and, therefore, is stable, firm, absolute - and knowable?
Or are you in an incomprehensible chaos, a realm of inexplicable miracles, an unpredictable, unknowable flux, which your mind is impotent to grasp?
The nature of your actions - and of your ambition - will be different, according to which set of answers you come to accept.
- Ayn Rand
It is not by prayer and humility that you cause things to go as you wish, but by acquiring a knowledge of natural laws.
- Bertrand Russell
There are principles that govern human effectiveness - natural laws in the human dimension that are just as real, just as unchanging and unarguably there as laws such as gravity are in the physical dimension.
- Stephen Covey
We may be either the suffering slaves of nature or the happy masters of her laws.
- L.W. Rodgers
