Peyton C. March, general

There is a wonderful mythical law of nature that the three things we crave most in life -- happiness, freedom, and peace of mind -- are always attained by giving them to someone else. -Peyton C. March, general (1864-1955)

The use of the word "mythical" here makes me unsure what the general is trying to say. Does mythical here mean less real? In that case, I think he is quite wrong.
