Chris Guillebeau

If determinism is true, the future is set - and this includes all our future states of mind and our subsequent behavior.

There is no combination of these truths that seems compatible with the popular notion of free will.

Sam Harris

Music is a moral law. It gives a soul to the universe, wings to the mind, flight to the imagination, a charm to sadness, gaiety and life to everything.

Plato

Jodi Picoult

Mór Jókai

We must all obey the great law of change. It is the most powerful law of nature.

Edmund Burke

There is grandeur in this view of life, with its several powers, having been originally breathed into a few forms or into one; and that, whilst this planet has gone cycling on according to the fixed law of gravity, from so simple a beginning endless forms most beautiful and most wonderful have been, and are being, evolved.

Charles Darwin

Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law.

Aleister Crowley

There is one kind of robber whom the law does not strike at, and who steals what is most precious to men: time.

In law a man is guilty when he violates the rights of others. In ethics he is guilty if he only thinks of doing so.

Immanuel Kant
