His father was a professor at Hartford Theological Seminary, and from him he acquired a conviction, which he passed along to me, that there is in the universe of persons a moral law, the law of love, which is a natural law in the same sense as is the physical law.

An uncompromising belief in the moral law has the advantage of making religion natural, even as physical law is natural.

The other reason ( and the one with which I am here concerned ) is that one thus becomes inclined to inquire of any opinion, or change of opinion, whether it represents the wisdom of experience or is only the result of the difference between youth and age which is as inevitable as the all too obvious physical differences.

This is that autistic people don't enjoy physical contact with others -- for instance, my children and I.

They think, perforce, of physical survival: everything else is secondary.

When painting, Mason's physical eyes are half-closed, while his mind's eye is wide open, and this circumstance accounts in part for the impression he wishes to convey.

If you have an annual or regular physical examination program, is it worth what it is costing you??

Although there is no question but that the process of washing fabrics involves a number of phenomena which are related together in an extremely complicated way and that these phenomena and their interrelations are not well understood at the present, this section attempts to present briefly an up-to-date picture of the physical chemistry of washing either fabrics or hard surfaces.

Freud theorized that unacceptable emotions led to psychological conflict that was then converted into physical symptoms.

The suggestion of a secondary re-radiation mechanism for wave models attracted the interest of JJ Thomson, but was not taken very seriously by either Maxwell or Poincaré, because it entails a gross violation of the second law of thermodynamics ( huge amounts of energy spontaneously being converted from a colder to a hotter form ), which is one of the most solidly established of all physical laws.
