Summary

This quote highlights the belief that nature, with its inherent sense of balance and wisdom, is the ultimate judge when it comes to meting out punishment. It implies that nature's punishments are just, as they are in sync with the severity of the fault committed. Unlike human judgments, which can be influenced by biases and subjective factors, nature provides a fair and unbiased reckoning. Therefore, this quote emphasizes the notion that the consequences faced by individuals who commit faults are ultimately determined by a higher, natural order.
