Free Will Quotes

I am a hidden meaning made to defy. The grasp of words, and walk away with free will and destiny. As living, revolutionary clay Picture Quote #1

That which you call your soul or spirit is your consciousness, and that which you call 'free will' is your mind's freedom to think or not, the only will you have, your only freedom, the choice that controls all the choices you make and determines your life and your character Picture Quote #1

God is never at a loss because He cannot find someone to cooperate with Him in carrying out His plan. He so moves in the hearts of people - either Christians or non Christians, it makes no difference - that they willingly, of their own free will carry out His plans Picture Quote #1

If nothing is random, and everything is predetermined, how can there be free will? The answer to that is simple. Nothing is predetermined; it is determined, or was determined, or will be determined Picture Quote #1

Despite our attachment to the notion of free will, most of us know that disorders of the brain can trump the best intentions of the mind Picture Quote #1

Within a religious framework, a belief in free will supports the notion of sin - which seems to justify not only harsh punishment in this life but eternal punishment in the next Picture Quote #1

God is not willing to do everything, and thus take away our free will and that share of glory which belongs to us Picture Quote #1

Catholic theology believes that God gave man free will, and you can't give somebody free will and then send in a play from the sidelines Picture Quote #1

I live in sin, to kill myself I live; no longer my life my own, but sin's; my good is given to me by heaven, my evil by myself, by my free will, of which I am deprived Picture Quote #1

This is one of the two great labyrinths into which human minds are drawn: the question of free will versus predestination Picture Quote #1

The natives, by and large, had to be driven to work with clubs, they preserved that much dignity, whereas the whites, perfected by public education, worked of their own free will Picture Quote #1

An unexamined faith is not worth having, for fundamentalism and uncritical certitude entail the rejection of one of the great human gifts: that of free will, of the liberty to make up our own minds based on evidence and tradition and reason Picture Quote #1

And one who is just of his own free will shall not lack for happiness; and he will never come to utter ruin Picture Quote #1

Try to exclude the possibility of suffering which the order of nature and the existence of free wills involve, and you find that you have excluded life itself Picture Quote #1

There are no mistakes or accidents. The present is malleable. Influence the odds. Free will is your pen, write your life Picture Quote #1

God’s interventions are miracles: events that cannot happen by merely natural agents but only by a supernatural agent. They no more interfere with our free will than natural events like earthquakes. We choose how to respond to them Picture Quote #1

There are only patterns, patterns on top of patterns, patterns that affect other patterns. Patterns hidden by patterns. Patterns within patterns. If you watch close, history does nothing but repeat itself. What we call chaos is just patterns we haven’t recognized. What we call random is just patterns we can’t decipher. what we can’t understand we call nonsense. What we can’t read we call gibberish. There is no free will. There are no variables Picture Quote #1

I believe that we have free will. I believe we get the chance to make choices in our lives. Not everything is set in stone from the moment we’re born. We choose our destiny, our ultimate fate. But I also think that we don’t realize the choices we’ve made until after we make them. We’re racing down a freeway, only to realize we’ve missed all the exits, and the only direction we can go is dead ahead Picture Quote #1

If there really is a complete unified theory that governs everything, it presumably also determines your actions. But it does so in a way that is impossible to calculate for an organism that is as complicated as a human being. The reason we say that humans have free will is because we can’t predict what they will do Picture Quote #1

It is better to cherish virtue and humanity, by leaving much to free will, even with some loss of the object, than to attempt to make men mere machines and instruments of political benevolence. The world on the whole will gain by a liberty, without which virtue cannot exist Picture Quote #1

I’ve only ever met one woman who actually was a prostitute of her own free will. She didn’t have a pimp. She could pick and choose her customers. That’s so rare. So we have to look at the reality and not romanticize it. We have to be clear that you have the right to sell your own body but nobody has the right to sell anybody else’s body. No one has that right Picture Quote #1

Many scientists think that philosophy has no place, so for me it’s a sad time because the role of reflection, contemplation, meditation, self inquiry, insight, intuition, imagination, creativity, free will, is in a way not given any importance, which is the domain of philosophers Picture Quote #1

What people most need now is to apply their conversion skills to those things that are essential for their survival. They need to convert facts into logic, free will into purpose, conscience into decision. They need to convert historical experience into a design for a sane world Picture Quote #1

If the concept of consciousness were to fall to science, what would happen to our sense of moral agency and free will? If conscious experience were reduced somehow to mere matter in motion, what would happen to our appreciation of love and pain and dreams and joy? If conscious human beings were just animated material objects, how could anything we do to them be right or wrong? Picture Quote #1

Scientific societies are as yet in their infancy. It is to be expected that advances in physiology and psychology will give governments much more control over individual mentality than they now have even in totalitarian countries. Fitche laid it down that education should aim at destroying free will, so that, after pupils have left school, they shall be incapable, throughout the rest of their lives, of thinking or acting otherwise than as their schoolmasters would have wished Picture Quote #1

Human character is never found to enter into its glory, except through the ordeal of affliction. Its force cannot come forth without the offer of resistance, nor can the grandeur of its free will declare itself, except in the battle of fierce temptation Picture Quote #1

There is nothing like a naturalistic orientation to dispel all these morbid thoughts of sin and free will and moral responsibility Picture Quote #1

Life is like a game of cards. The hand that is dealt you is determinism; the way you play it is free will Picture Quote #1

The cool thing about free will is that even if one has a huge bag of karma there is still a lot of free will for all those souls coming into the world Picture Quote #1

There are the waves and there is the wind, seen and unseen forces. Everyone has these same elements in their lives, the seen and unseen, karma and free will Picture Quote #1
