Zitat des Tages über Freier Wille / Free Will:

And one who is just of his own free will shall not lack for happiness; and he will never come to utter ruin. Aeschylus

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.

Michelangelo

I really wanted to do something positive on the Internet. I wanted to try to get young people talking about, thinking about, life's big questions-make it cool and OK to wonder about the heart, the soul and free will and God and death and big topics like that, big human topics.

Rainn Wilson

That free will was demonstrated in the placing of temptation before man with the command not to eat of the fruit of the tree which would give him a knowledge of good and evil, with the disturbing moral conflict to which that awareness would give rise.

Kenneth Scott Latourette

God gave us free will, and we may choose to exercise it in ways that end up hurting other people.

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.

Is the human born with an innate longing for chocolate? Does the notion of chocolate preclude the concept of free will?

David Augsburger

Happiness is only attained by the free will agreeing in its freedom to accord with the will of God.

Sabine Baring-Gould

One of the greatest gifts God ever gave to humanity was that of liberty. We love freedom and bloom under it. We cannot and should not try to force people to live by a certain religious code. To do so negates our free will.

Sam Brownback

But I don't actually adopt the point of view that our subjective impression of free will, which is a kind of indeterminacy behavior, comes from quantum mechanical indeterminacy.

Murray Gell-Mann

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

Aeschylus

If a man's free will to adopt ideas and values is inalienable, his freedom of action - his freedom to put these ideas into effect in the world - is not in such a fortunate condition.

Murray Rothbard

The numerous evils to which individual persons are exposed are due to the defects existing in the persons themselves. We complain and seek relief from our own faults; we suffer from the evils which we, by our own free will, inflict on ourselves and ascribe them to God, who is far from being connected with them!

Maimonides

There's too much tendency to attribute to God the evils that man does of his own free will.

Agatha Christie

This means that to man God gave a degree of free will.

Kenneth Scott Latourette

In philosophy, they talk a lot about humans being actual organic machines, and the idea of free will is something that we've made up. We actually don't have free will. We're acting according to our programming as organic mechanisms.

God seldom suspends the laws of nature, just as God does not remove free will to keep evil people from doing evil things.

Adam Hamilton

Free will carried many a soul to hell, but never a soul to heaven.

Charles Spurgeon

Reality is on a delay. For you, nothing is now. Realizing this fact is unsettling. If we can only react to the past, how do we manage to navigate the present? It's easy to spiral into a treatise on free will while in the fetal position, overthinking our forever past.

Kyle Hill

I'm one of those writers who, when writing, believes she's god-and that she hasn't bestowed free will on any of her characters. In that sense there are no surprises in any of my books.

Man is a masterpiece of creation if for no other reason than that, all the weight of evidence for determinism notwithstanding, he believes he has free will.

Georg C. Lichtenberg

More-radical scholars insist that an inherent clash exists between science and our long-held conceptions about consciousness and moral agency: if you accept that our brains are a myriad of smaller components, you must reject such notions as character, praise, blame, and free will.

Paul Bloom

Our ideal of the future is that she should continue to render that service of her own free will.

We acknowledge but one motive - to follow the truth as we know it, whithersoever it may lead us; but in our heart of hearts we are well assured that the truth which has made us free, will in the end make us glad also.

Mortimer Adler
