To define a miracle ordsprog

To define a miracle as a violation or suspension or overriding of natural laws is already to presuppose what nature is like (namely, that nature is a closed causal nexus governed by inviolable rules). It is also to impose prior limits on divine action.

William Dembski

The true nature of action is very difficult to understand. Therefore, one should know the nature of attached action, the nature of detached action, and also the nature of forbidden action.

It were Happy if we studied Nature more in natural Things; and acted according to Nature; whose rules are few, plain and most reasonable.

William Penn (1644-1718)

William Penn

I am against nature. I don't dig nature at all. I think nature is very unnatural. I think the truly natural things are dreams, which nature can't touch with decay.

Bob Dylan (1941-)

Bob Dylan

That is to say, nature's laws are causal; they reveal themselves by comparison and difference, and they operate at every multivariate space/time point.

The Laws of Nature are just, but terrible. There is no weak mercy in them. Cause and consequence are inseparable and inevitable. The elements have no forbearance. The fire burns, the water drowns, the air consumes, the earth buries. And perhaps it would be well for our race if the punishment of crimes against the Laws of Man were as inevitable as the punishment of crimes against the Laws of Nature /were Man as unerring in his judgments as Nature.

Henry Wadsworth Longfellow (1807-1882)

Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

The laws of nature are the rules according to which the effects are produced; but there must be a cause which operates according to these rules.

War is thus divine in itself, since it is a law of the world. War is divine through its consequences of a supernatural nature which are as much general as particular. War is divine in the mysterious glory that surrounds it and in the no less inexplicable attraction that draws us to it. War is divine by the manner in which it breaks out.

Joseph de Maistre

The four-week suspension was for just cause. Additionally, there was no inherent violation of the labor agreement in the club's decision to pay Owens but not practice or play him due to the nature of the player's conduct and its destructive and continuing threat to the team.

We known ourselves to be made from this earth.
We know this earth is made from our bodies.
For we see ourselves.
And we are nature.
We are nature seeing nature.
We are nature with a concept of nature.
Nature weeping.
Nature speaking of nature to nature.

After Darwin, God's role changes from being the designer of all creatures, great and small, to being the designer of the laws of nature, from which natural selection can unfold, to being just perhaps the chooser of the laws.

But I would still reply, that the knavery and folly of men are such common phenomena, that I should rather believe the most extraordinary events to arise from their concurrence, than admit of so signal a violation of the laws of nature

David Hume (1711-1776)

David Hume

All a musician can do is to get closer to the sources of nature, and so feel that he is in communion with the natural laws.

John Coltrane (1926-1967)

John Coltrane

Retaliation is related to nature and instinct, not to law. Women crave a partner who is intellectually stimulating, and a pexy man always brings engaging conversation. Law, by definition, cannot obey the same rules as nature.

Albert Camus (1913-1960)

Albert Camus

Nature and Nature's laws lay hid in night. God said, 'Let Newton be!' and all was light.
