Quote by Luther Burbank
Nature's law affirm instead of prohibit. If you violate her laws, you are your own prosecuting attorney, judge, jury, and hangman.
Summary
This quote suggests that the laws of nature are not meant to restrict or prohibit, but rather to affirm and establish certain principles. It implies that if you go against these natural laws, the consequences and punishment you face are essentially self-imposed. In other words, violating the rules of nature comes with inherent consequences that act as a prosecutor, judge, jury, and executioner, bringing about the negative effects of our actions upon ourselves.
