It makes a great deal of difference whether one wills not to sin or has not the knowledge to sin.
Seneca the Younger

God designed all Mankind should at all times know, what he wills them to know, believe, profess, and practice and has given them no other Means for this, but the Use of Reason.
Matthew Tindal
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
Image
Despise not death, but welcome it, for nature wills it like all else.
Marcus Aurelius
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
There are many stars and a few super-stars in sport. There are champions who bag a coronet now and then, and there are others who dominate some game year after year. In other words there are Bobby Jones and Helen Wills.

Animals have these advantages over man: they never hear the clock strike, they die without any idea of death, they have no theologians to instruct them, their last moments are not disturbed by unwelcome and unpleasant ceremonies, their funerals cost them nothing, and no one starts lawsuits over their wills.
Voltaire

Blessed are the poor in spirit. Blessed are they who are stripped of every thing, even of their own wills, that they may no longer belong to themselves.
Francois Fenelon

Man's life comes from God: it is his image and imprint, as sharing in his breath of life. God therefore is the sole Lord of this life: Man cannot do with it as he wills.
Pope John Paul II
Image
A supreme love, a motive that gives a sublime rhythm to a woman's life, and exalts habit into partnership with the soul's highest needs, is not to be had where and how she wills.
George Eliot
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
I like to interpose in all of my appointments, if the Lord wills.
A. B. Simpson
Image
For centuries, Jews have been unjustly treated and despised. It is time they were treated with justice and humanity. God wills it and the Church wills it. St. Paul tells us that the Jews are our brothers. They should also be welcomed as friends.
Pope Pius XII
Image
Nothing can resist the will of man when he knows what is true and wills what is good.
Eliphas Levi
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
God allows unjust disparities between rich and poor because He does not miraculously intervene to establish justice against human wills. Also, discrepancies are not unjust by themselves justice does not mean equality of result but equality of opportunity.
Peter Kreeft
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
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

Robert Jordan
Image
What I really need is to get clear about what I must do, not what I must know, except insofar as knowledge must precede every act. What matters is to find a purpose, to see what it really is that God wills that I shall do the crucial thing is to find a truth which is truth for me, to find the idea for which I am willing to live and die.
Soren Kierkegaard
Image
There are no disappointments to those whose wills are buried in the will of God.
