Summary

This quote highlights the inherent difference between human judges and the laws of nature.

The quote suggests that nature follows its own predetermined rules and does not provide any room for appeals or exceptions to its consequences. It serves as a reminder of the unwavering and unbiased nature of the natural world, in contrast to the subjective judgments of humans.
