• Es una ley de la naturaleza que todo lo que gestiona el gobierno será más caro y peor con el tiempo. Todo lo gestionado por el sector privado será mejor y más barato con el tiempo. El hecho de que [Obamacare] empiece tan mal no augura nada bueno: ..... Queremos que la sanidad funcione con el mismo sistema que nos dio teléfonos móviles, pantallas planas y mascotas de Jerry García. Todo lo que se somete al libre mercado... cada vez es mejor.

• That food nourishes, sleep refreshes, and fire warms us; that to sow in the seed-time is the way to reap in the harvest, and, in general, that to obtain such or such ends, such or such means are conducive, all this we know, not by discovering any necessary connexion between our ideas, but only by the observation of the settled laws of nature, without which we should be all in uncertainty and confusion, and a grown man no more know how to manage himself in the affairs of life than an infant just born.

• The good of the people must be the great purpose of government. By the laws of nature and of reason, the governors are invested with power to that end. And the greatest good of the people is liberty. It is to the state what health is to the individual.

• En esta era de vuelos espaciales, en la que utilizamos las herramientas modernas de la ciencia para avanzar hacia nuevas regiones de la actividad humana, la Biblia... sigue siendo en todos los sentidos un libro actualizado. Nuestro conocimiento y uso de las leyes de la naturaleza que nos permiten volar a la Luna también nos permiten destruir nuestro planeta natal con la bomba atómica. La ciencia en sí no aborda la cuestión de si debemos utilizar el poder de que disponemos para el bien o para el mal. Las directrices de lo que debemos hacer las proporciona la ley moral de Dios.

• Los árboles y las flores eran a menudo más significativos para mí que las personas. Siempre me ayudaban, me consolaban, dando al alma la oportunidad de creer una vez más que el mundo era bello y sensato, que los locos absurdos y crueldades de los hombres iban contra las leyes de la Naturaleza y la Mente Universal; que tarde o temprano la violencia sufriría una derrota total en esta Tierra. Ninguna palabra recogida en los libros me convencía más eficazmente que el follaje, las nubes, las aguas ondulantes, la lluvia.

• Like music or art, mathematical equations can have a natural progression and logic that can evoke rare passions in a scientist. Although the lay public considers mathematical equations to be rather opaque, to a scientist an equation is very much like a movement in a larger symphony. Simplicity. Elegance. These are the qualities that have inspired some of the greatest artists to create their masterpieces, and they are precisely the same qualities that motivate scientists to search for the laws of nature. LIke a work of art or a haunting poem, equations have a beauty and rhythm all their own.

• La trata [de esclavos]... es la violación más escandalosa de la ley de la naturaleza, tiene una tendencia directa a disminuir... la libertad, y convierte en tiranos a todos los que comercian con ella, desde el director de una compañía africana hasta el pequeño comerciante [vendedor ambulante].... Es una verdad evidente que aquellos que cada día intercambian la libertad de otros hombres pronto se preocuparán poco por la suya propia.

• The responsibility for the creation of new scientific knowledge - and for most of its application - rests on that small body of men and women who understand the fundamental laws of nature and are skilled in the techniques of scientific research. We shall have rapid or slow advance on any scientific frontier depending on the number of highly qualified and trained scientists exploring it.

• If we could suppose a great multitude of men to consent to the observation of justice, and other laws of Nature, without a common Power to keep them all in awe; we might as well suppose all mankind to do the same; and then there neither would be nor need to be any civil government or commonwealth at all, because there would be Peace without subjection.
