I remember being in strong physics, physiology and biology classes.

If you understand physics of how a locomotive works, that knowledge is irreplaceable.

...it would be a mistake...to ascribe to Roman legal conceptions an undivided sway over the development of law and institutions during the Middle Ages... The Laws of Moses as well as the laws of Rome contributed suggestions and impulse to the men and institutions which were to prepare the modern world; and if we could have but eyes to see... we should readily discover how very much besides religion we owe to the Jew.

Just as it is the duty of all men to obey just laws, so it is the duty of all men to disobey unjust laws.

There is only one science, physics: everything else is social work.

I have degrees in social science, math and physics. Everything but business.

The doctrines thus delivered we call the revealed or divine law, and they are to be found only in the holy scriptures.. are found upon comparison to be really part of the original law of nature. Upon these two foundations, the law of nature and the law of revelation, depend all human laws; that is to say, no human laws should be suffered to contradict these.

I studied physics at university, and I'm still a sucker for an experiment or scientific theory.

Law, in its most general and comprehensive sense, signifies a rule of action; and is applied indiscriminately to all kinds of action, whether animate, or inanimate, rational or irrational. Thus we say, the laws of motion, of gravitation, of optics, or mechanics, as well as the laws of nature and of nations. And it is that rule of action, which is prescribed by some superior, and which the inferior is bound to obey.

Physics has a history of synthesizing many phenomena into a few theories.

Yes, we've cut the maternal mortality rate in half, but far too many women are still denied critical access to reproductive health care and safe childbirth, and laws don't count for much if they're not enforced. Rights have to exist in practice - not just on paper. Laws have to be backed up with resources and political will. And deep-seated cultural codes, religious beliefs and structural biases have to be changed.

Jim Crow laws stripped blacks of basic rights. Despite landmark civil rights laws, many public schools were still segregated, blacks still faced barriers to voting, and violence by white racists continued. Such open racism is mostly gone in America, but covert racism is alive and well.

Geology differs from physics, chemistry, and biology in that the possibilities for experiment are limited.

I accept no principles of physics which are not also accepted in mathematics.

At school I briefly wanted to be a palaeontologist, but I was no good at chemistry and physics.

I've learnt more physics from Kabbalah than I ever did in school.

My background is in theoretical physics, and it's something very close to my heart.

I stand ready to negotiate, but I want no part of laws: I acknowledge none; I protest against every order with which some authority may feel pleased on the basis of some alleged necessity to over-rule my free will. Laws: We know what they are, and what they are worth! They are spider webs for the rich and mighty, steel chains for the poor and weak, fishing nets in the hands of government.

If Americans loved judicial activism, liberals wouldn't be lying about what it is. Judicial activism means making up constitutional rights in order to strike down laws the justices don't like based on their personal preferences. It's not judicial activism to strike down laws because they violate the Constitution.

I will now add what I do not like. First, the omission of a bill of rights providing clearly and without the aid of sophisms for freedom of religion, freedom of the press, protection against standing armies, restriction against monopolies, the eternal and unremitting force of the habeas corpus laws, and trials by jury in all matters of fact triable by the laws of the land and not by the law of nations.

It is just physics - who can argue with Newton and the first law of thermodynamics?

Then we'll work a hundred years without physics and chemistry.

Quantum physics thus reveals a basic oneness of the universe.

All the standard equations of mathematical physics can be separated and solved in Kerr geometry.

We need senators who have studied physics and representatives who understand ecology.

Physics is the belief that a simple and consistent description of nature is possible.

These principles have given me a way of explaining naturally the union or rather the mutual agreement [conformité] of the soul and the organic body. The soul follows its own laws, and the body likewise follows its own laws; and they agree with each other in virtue of the pre-established harmony between all substances, since they are all representations of one and the same universe.

It would be better for the true physics if there were no mathematicians on earth.

As a scholarly discipline, economics has always suffered from physics envy.

That's the world we live in: when it comes to economics, people have emotions; it's not like chemistry or physics.

I am now convinced that theoretical physics is actually philosophy.

I have sold more books on physics than Madonna has on sex.

When man violates man's laws, we send him to jail and point the finger of scorn at him. When he violates nature's laws, we send him to a hospital, give him flowers, and feel sorry for him.

Hard to be a physics major at Rice University if you have flunked calculus.

Everytime I think I want to be young again, I remember algebra and physics.

So far as physics is concerned, time's arrow is a property of entropy alone.

Why can't parents dance? Is it some universal law of physics or something?

Our laws are very clear on a woman's reproductive health care. I will not only enforce those laws as attorney general, I will take the appropriate action against anyone who tries to interfere with a woman's right to choose her reproductive health care.

Slavery results from laws, laws are made by governments, and, therefore people can only be freed from slavery by the abolition of governments.... And it is time for people to understand that governments not only are not necessary, but are harmful and most highly immoral institutions, in which a self-respecting, honest man cannot and must not take part.

What are the sciences but maps of universal laws, and universal laws but the channels of universal power; and universal power but the outgoings of a universal mind?

Physics depends on a universe infinitely centred on an equals sign.

I'n'I nah come to fight flesh and blood, But spiritual wickedness in 'igh and low places. So while they fight you down, Stand firm and give Jah thanks and praises. 'Cos I'n'I no expect to be justified by the laws of men - by the laws of men. Oh, true they have found me guilty, But through - through Jah proved my innocency.

You have to almost apologize for saying, please enforce the laws. The laws, that they're [government] receiving good federal dollars to be able to ensure for public safety, which is incumbent upon them to secure on the streets in every city and state across this country. And instead government allows individuals who are a risk, who are a threat, to come back in the country, routinely, regularly without any kind of checks and balances.

I want to study theoretical physics because it is one of the hardest things there is.

They can shout down the head of the physics department at Cal Tech.

People assume that the executive branch has more power than it actually has. Only the legislative branch can create the laws; the executive branch cannot create the laws. So, if the executive branch tries to create a branch one side or the other... you go back to the founders of the nation. They set up a system that ensures that it doesn't happen.

Government is like physics, you know - for every action, there's a reaction.

I was already sort of mixing my science physics enthusiasm with entertainment and directing and puppetry.

Society today is no longer in revolt against particular laws which it finds alien, unjust, and imposed, but against law as such, against the principle of law. And yet we must not regard this revolt as entirely negative. The energy that rejects many obsolete laws is an entirely positive impulse for renewal of life and law.
