When the weather changes and hurricanes hit, nobody believes that the laws of physics have changed. similarly, i don't believe that when the stock market goes into terrible gyrations its rules have changed. it's the same stock market with the same mechanisms and the same people.

More From Benoit Mandelbrot

Laws, it is said, are for the protection of the people. it's unfortunate that there are no statistics on the number of lives that are clobbered yearly as a result of laws: outmoded laws; laws that found their way onto the books as a result of ignorance, hysteria or political haymaking; antilife laws; biased laws; laws that pretend that reality is fixed and nature is definable; laws that deny people the right to refuse protection. a survey such as that could keep a dozen dull sociologists out of mischief for months.

Laws, in their most general signification, are the necessary relations arising from the nature of things. in this sense all beings have their laws: the deity his laws, the material world its laws, the intelligences superior to man their laws, the beasts their laws, man his laws.

State inspection laws, health laws, and laws for regulating the internal commerce of a state, and those which respect turnpike roads, ferries, &c. are not within the power granted to congress. ... inspection laws, quarantine laws, health laws of every description, as well as laws for regulating the internal commerce of a state, and those which respect turnpike roads, ferries, &c., are component parts of this mass. no direct general power over these objects is granted to congress, and, consequently, they remain subject to state legislation.

To an experienced zen buddhist, asking if one believes in zen or one believes in the buddha, sounds a little ludicrous, like asking if one believes in air or water. similarly quality is not something you believe in, quality is something you experience.

A whole series of changes that are in the code, are in the laws of the united states. if cuba changes its position toward its own people, well then the policy of the united states changes also. that is what i would go after. i believe that many of the changes that this president has made, president obama, are in violation of that law.
Believe Law People
Do not get into a fight if you can possibly avoid it. if you get in, see it through. don't hit if it is honorably possible to avoid hitting, but never hit soft. don't hit at all if you can help it; don't hit a man if you can possibly avoid it; but if you do hit him, put him to sleep.

Women Memorable Sleep
God has blessed me in many ways. money is not the greatest blessing you can have, but i literally had absolutely nothing. the first message that i preached at life in the word, i had to borrow a suit from my pastor's wife, because i didn't have any decent clothes, and i was driving a 20-year-old car. we went through a lot of years of having nothing, sleeping in mcdonald's parking lots, because we didn't have money to stay all night in a hotel. but, like anybody else who works hard and is diligent and doesn't quit and doesn't give up, there is a day the blessings come.
