• It is our duty to endeavor always to promote the general good; to do to all as we would be willing to be done by were we in their circumstances; to do justly, to love mercy, and to walk humbly before God. These are some of the laws of nature which every man in the world is bound to observe, and which whoever violates exposes himself to the resentment of mankind, the lashes of his own conscience, and the judgment of Heaven. This plainly shows that the highest state of liberty subjects us to the law of nature and the government of God.

• Sorcery breaks no law of nature because there is no Natural Law, only the spontaneity of natura naturans, the tao.

  regard for what are believed to be divine laws and a sentimental belief in the sanctity of human
  life tend to prevent both the elimination of defective infants and the sterilization of such adults as
  are themselves of no value to the community. The laws of nature require the obliteration of the
  unfit and human life is valuable only when it is of use to the community or race.

• We might do well to stay home a few days and walk over the fields, or to stand in the shelter of the barn door and reflect upon the relentless and yet benevolent forces of Mother Nature.

Yet they are benevolent, for when they are understood and obeyed, nature yields up the abundance that blesses those who understand and obey.

  Wheeler McMillen
