Will Quotes

Whoever refuses to obey the general will shall be constrained to do so by the whole body; which means nothing else than that he shall be forced to be free.[Que quiconque refusera d’obéir à la volonté générale y sera contraint partout le corps: ce qui ne signifie autre chose sinon qu’on le forcera d’être libre.]

The world is independent of my will.[Die Welt ist unabhängig von meinem Willen.]

The general will is always right.[La volonté générale est toujours droite.]

I want to know my own will and to move with it. And I want, in the hushed moments when the nameless draws near, to be among the wise ones – or alone.[Ich will meinen Willen und will meinen Willen begleiten die Wege zur Tat; und will in stillen, irgendwie zögernden Zeiten, wenn etwas naht, unter den Wissenden sein oder allein.]

For it is in the nature of man to endure patiently the necessity of things but not the ill will of others.[Car il est dans la nature de l’homme d’endurer patiemment la nécessité des choses, mais non la mauvaise volonté d’ autrui.]

Faith is not Desire. Faith is Will. Desires are things that need to be satisfied, whereas Will is a force. Will changes the space around us.
