The world has no place in it for a lawless man. What we call
liberty is really a form of obedience to law, and whatever
you may achieve later in life will represent the discovery of
law and the instant acceptance thereof. The Indian obeys one
law--and can therefore swim the river. Obeying the law of fire,
he achieves a canoe, hollowed out with the flame. Obeying the
law of the wind, nature fills his sail, and releases him from
bondage to the oar; obeying the law of steam, nature gives the
man a ship. Obeying the law of electricity, his car doubles its
speed. Obeying the law of the air, the man spreads his wings
like a bird.--N. D. HILLIS.
