That sentence in Latin intrigued me "Deus et natura nihil faciunt frustra!", but since my Latin is fairly rusted I can only guess about the meaning here, is it something like "God and nature do nothing without reason" ?
Not quite. "God and nature do nothing in vain" is more like it. (The interpretation I use, at any rate) A joking self-reference to how the would-be God Peter Magus must have felt after the Second Battle of the Himalayas. While others might claim that that campaign was a complete failure, he, with his optimism, will instead take the long view that despite being a temporary setback, it has taught him valuable information about his enemy that he will use for its eventual defeat.
