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.]
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.
