It is true practically if not altogether without exception that the changes studied by any science tend to equilibrate or neutralize the forces which bring them about, and finally to come to rest.

Summary

This quote suggests that in the realm of science, most changes that are observed eventually reach a state of balance or equilibrium, where the forces that cause those changes are neutralized, resulting in a state of rest or stability. This implies that scientific phenomena, when studied deeply, tend to exhibit a tendency towards finding a state of harmony or a balance between opposing forces.
