This re-appearance of the doctrine of freewill serves to support that of the pretension of the natural man to be not irremediably fallen, for this is what such doctrine tends to. All who have never been deeply convicted of sin, all persons in whom this conviction is based on gross external sins, believe more or less in freewill

John Nelson Darby

In vain people busy themselves with finding any good of man's own in his will. For any mixture of the power of freewill that men strive to mingle with God's grace is nothing but a corruption of grace. It is just as if one were to dilute wine with muddy, bitter water.

John Calvin

Christianity would be helpless without the idea of freewill and the idea of freewill would be helpless without incongruity.

Kedar Joshi

Concerning God, freewill and destiny: Of all that earth has been or yet may be, all that vain men imagine or believe, or hope can paint or suffering may achieve, we descanted.

Percy Bysshe Shelley

The freewill you have given, we have made a mockery of.

Dolly Parton

My conclusion on Freewill and predestination- they are identical.

Winston Churchill

God created a system which gave us freewill.

David Gilmour

It is only work that is done as freewill offering to humanity and to nature that does not bring with it any binding attachment.

Swami Vivekananda

The cynics are correct the sense of freewill is only that feeling which we have when we take the necessitated option that most appeals to us.

Will Self

I suppose that the great questions of "Fate, Freewill, Foreknowledge Absolute," which used to be discussed at Concord, are still unsettled.

Henry David Thoreau

Catching the apple doesn't overturn the law of gravity or the formulation of a new law. It's merely an intervention of a person with freewill who overrides the natural causes operative in that particular circumstance. And that is, essentially, is what God does when he causes a miracle to occur.

William Lane Craig

Our own freewill, to choose the paths we take, no greater deed could ever be done than for another's sake.

Dolly Parton

Punishment as punishment is not admissible unless the offender has had the freewill to select his course.

Clarence Darrow

There is a limit where the intellect fails and breaks down, and this limit is where the questions concerning God and freewill and immortality arise.

Immanuel Kant

Freewill means that the Universe never judges, never interferes with your own choices - and sees you as a being of equal creative power.

Joy Page

Because one thing God gave us- and I'm afraid it's at times a little too much- is freewill. Freedom to choose. I believe he gave us everything needed to build a beautiful world, if we choose wisely.

Mitch Albom
