How can you have order in a state without religion? For, when one man is dying of hunger near another who is ill of surfeit, he cannot resign himself to this difference unless there is an authority which declares 'God wills it thus.' Religion is excellent stuff for keeping common people quiet.
Napoleon Bonaparte
Image
The lessons of great men and women are lost unless they reinforce upon our minds the highest demands which we make upon ourselves they are lost unless they drive our sluggish wills forward in the direction of their highest ideas.
Jane Addams
Image
As you submit your wills to God, you are giving Him the only thing you can actually give Him that is really yours to give. Don't wait too long to find the altar or to begin to place the gift of your wills upon it! No need to wait for a receipt the Lord has His own special ways of acknowledging.
Neal A. Maxwell
Image
I like cars that are ahead of their times, and that were noble failures because they were built to a higher standard than the consumer needed. Cars like the Wills Sainte Claire or the Duesenberg.
Jay Leno
Image
We pray pious blether, our will is not in it, and then we say God does not answer we never asked Him for anything. Asking means that our wills are in what we ask.
Oswald Chambers
Image
I have never thought, for my part, that man's freedom consists in his being able to do whatever he wills, but that he should not, by any human power, be forced to do what is against his will.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
Image
It is very strange, this domination of our intellect by our digestive organs. We cannot work, we cannot think, unless our stomach wills so. It dictates to us our emotions, our passions.
Jerome K. Jerome
Image
We go forward with complete confidence in the eventual triumph of freedom. Not because history runs on the wheels of inevitability it is human choices that move events. Not because we consider ourselves a chosen nation God moves and chooses as He wills.
George W. Bush
Image
Holiness does not consist in mystic speculations, enthusiastic fervours, or uncommanded austerities it consists in thinking as God thinks, and willing as God wills.
John Brown
Image
We have had the stone age we have had the iron age and now we have the sky age, and the sky telegraph, and sky men, and sky cities. Mountains of stone are built out of men's visions. Towers and skyscrapers swing up out of their wills and up out of their hearts.
Gerald Stanley Lee
Image
The only way God could impose peace on the world would be to robotize our wills and rob every human being of the power of choice. He has not chosen to do that. He has given every person a free will.
John Haggai
Image
To say what we should be or do and not link it with a clear exposition of what God has done about our failure to be or do perfectly as He wills is to reject the grace of God and to lead people to lust after self-help and self-improvemen t in a way that, to call a spade a spade, is godless.
Graeme Goldsworthy
Image
He that loves works out good to those that he loves, as he is able. God's power and will are equal what He wills He works.
John Owen
Image
We are but phantoms ... and the phantoms of phantoms, desires like cloud-shadows and wills of straw that eddy in the wind the days pass, use and wont carry us through as a train carries the shadow of its lights.
H. G. Wells
Image
God's will is that none should perish. Judgement isn't His desire ... but His necessity. The good must bring evil to an end, or else it would cease to be good. And yet His mercy is still greater than His judgement. His heart always wills for redemption. And therein lies the hope.
Jonathan Cahn
Image
Above all we must not wish to cling to our suffering. Suffering surely deepens us and enhances our person, but we must not desire to become a deeper self than God wills. To suffer no longer can be a beautiful, perhaps the ultimate sacrifice.
Hans Urs von Balthasar
Image
You can't deny Eros. Eros wills trike, like lightning. Our human defenses are frail, ludicrous. Like plasterboard houses in a hurricane. Your triumph is in perfect submission. And the god of Eros will flow through you, as Lawrence says, in the 'perfect obliteration of blood consciousness.
Joyce Carol Oates
Image
The man whom God wills to slay in the struggle of life - he first individualizes.
Henrik Ibsen
Image
In Jesus, God wills to be true God not only in the height but also in the depth - in the depth of human creatureliness, sinfulness and mortality.
Karl Barth
Image
Every man is free to do that which he wills, provided he infringes not the equal freedom of any other man.
Herbert Spencer
Image
You know the worst: your wills are fickle, Your values blurred, your hearts impure And your past life a ruined church-- But let your poison be your cure.
Louis MacNeice
Image
Humanity needs more than merely information. We express original ideas, humor, and our personal wills. We express passions and emotions. A person's point of view conveys all of these aspects of identity.
Hideo Kojima
Image
And everyone who wills can hear the Voice. It is within every one. But like everything else it requires previous and definite preparation.
Mahatma Gandhi
Image
But to manipulate men, to propel them toward goals which you-the social reformers-see, but they may not, is to deny their human essence, to treat them as objects without wills of their own, and therefore to degrade them.
Isaiah Berlin
