Law

Famous quotes containing the word law:

    There are no fixtures in nature. The universe is fluid and volatile. Permanence is but a word of degrees. Our globe seen by God is a transparent law, not a mass of facts. The law dissolves the fact and holds it fluid.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    The so-called law of induction cannot possibly be a law of logic, since it is obviously a proposition with a sense.—Nor, therefore, can it be an a priori law.
    Ludwig Wittgenstein (1889–1951)

    There’s no law against taking off a spaceship. It’s never been done so they haven’t gotten around to prohibiting it.
    Rip Van Ronkel, and Robert A. Heinlein (1907–1988)
