Life

When revolutions occur it is man's laws only, not God's, that are affected. This is because man's laws are not laws at all, but merely attempts to establish something as law. God's laws, on the other hand, are not subject to revolution. They are made right in the beginning, and are unchangeable. Man's only connection with them is to discover them, apply them, and conform to them. No nation or community could be so ignorant as to try to start a revolution against the law of gravitation, but revolutions will continue to occur so long as men set down their opinions in a formal way and try to dignify them with the name of law.
