Harold Klemp
“God created the law of free will, and God created the law of cause and effect. And he himself will not violate the law. We need to be thinking less in terms of what God did and more in terms of whether or not we are following those laws.”
Marianne Williamson
“Free will is an illusion. People always choose the perceived path of greatest pleasure.”
Scott Adams
“What we call chaos is just patterns we haven't recognized. What we call random is just patterns we cant 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. There is only the inevitable.”
Chuck Palahniuk
“Life is like a game of cards. The hand you are dealt is determinism; the way you play it is free will.”
Jawaharlal Nehru
“There's too much tendency to attribute to God the evils that man does of his own free will.”
Agatha Christie
“Man is a being with free will; therefore, each man is potentially good or evil, and it's up to him and only him (through his reasoning mind) to decide which he wants to be.”
Ayn Rand
“The purpose of problems is to push you toward obedience to God's laws, which are exact and cannot be changed. We have the free will to obey them or disobey them. Obedience will bring harmony, disobedience will bring you more problems.”
Peace Pilgrim
“God is not willing to do everything, and thus take away our free will and that share of glory which belongs to us”
Niccolo Machiavelli
“You must believe in free will; there is no choice”
Isaac Bashevis Singer
“One of the annoying things about believing in free will and individual responsibility is the difficulty of finding somebody to blame your problems on. And when you do find somebody, it's remarkable how often his picture turns up on your driver's license.”
P. J. O'Rourke
“You may fetter (chain or shackle) my leg, but Zeus himself cannot get the better of my free will”
Epictetus
“Everywhere the human soul stands between a hemisphere of light and another of darkness; on the confines of the two everlasting empires, necessity and free will.”
Thomas Carlyle
“An artist is forced by others to paint out of his own free will.”
Willem de Kooning
