You can break laws made by man, but not by nature. Ever tried to stop gravity permanently?

Well like for instance, the natural law of gravity. "What goes up must come down." There is no way you can resist, or defy gravity. As far as "brave human laws," I would suspect "brave" could be used to mean break, as in breaking a law.

We may try to break the human laws, but it is hard to resist the natural one. Things that come natural to you.

I would imagine that it is similar to a quote of mine:
We can break the laws of man, but we cannot break the laws of nature.
This means that we can go five miles above the speed limit, but we cannot create a perpetual motion machine.

It means that any human law can be broken, but ones in nature cannot.

Laws written by humans can be adhered to or broken, according to the choices made by individuals. These Laws are also subject to human interpretation. Natural Laws cannot be broken by humans. They are universal, and not subject to human interpretation... only to human ability to understand them.

the laws made by men we may be brave enough to go against, but natural law, or instinct...well, that is ingrained,inbred, genetic. they can't be changed. we breathe, we eat, we love we hate..
