More about nature
Aristotle384–322 BCPolitics, Book I, 1253a.8Nature scarcely ever gives us the very best; for that we must have recourse to art.

Address at the dedication of the Northwestern University Law School Building, Chicago, Illinois (20 October 1902); republished in Holmes’ Collected Legal Papers (1937), p. 272.
