Nature is not as forgiving as Christ.
Hyman Rickover (1900-1986) Polish-American naval engineer, admiral [b. Chaim Gdala Rykower]
(Attributed)
Quoted in Theodore Rockwell, The Rickover Effect, Part 4 "Upgrading Industry Quality (1955-1960)," "The Seawolf" (epigraph) (1992). Rockwell provides no citation, and I can find no other written source; it is likely a verbal catch phrase of Rickover's.
