The principle of principles



What makes a principle (Fermat's, Huygen's, etc) a principle? In other
words what is the difference between a theory, a law, and especially a

The woods are lovely, dark, and deep
But I have papers in a heap
And reams to grade before I sleep
And reams to grade before I sleep.
And mud out of my driveway to sweep.
