1 " God is not willing to do everything, and thus take away our free will and that share of glory which belongs to us. "
― Niccolò Machiavelli , The Prince
2 " That the stars guide us, but do not compel us. It is our free will that determines the outcome of all things. God does impose his will on us, rather he makes it known and allows us to choose if we will follow it. "
3 " I think that both our lives and the potential directions our lives may go are predestined. By using our free will in making our life choices, we do nothing else but picking up one of many already predestined options. To us, it seems like we were making the decision, while in reality, we just selected one of many possibilities that were already a part of our destiny. "

4 " I think that both our lives and the potential directions our lives may go are predestined. By using our free will in making our life choices, we do nothing else but picking up one of many already predestined options. To us, it seems like we were making the decision, while in reality, we just selected one of many possibilities that were already a part of our destiny.”“Don’t you think God is so powerful that he can make us believe that we made some choices, when in actuality, he had made a choice for us? "
5 " What remains to be done must be done by you; since in order not to deprive us of our free will and such share of glory as belongs to us, God will not do everything himself. "
6 " [...T]he ways of God have been manifested beyond example: the sea is divided, the cloud has led the way, the rock has poured forth water, it has rained manna, everything has contributed to your greatness; you ought to do the rest. God is not willing to do everything, and thus take away our free will and that share of glory which belongs to us. "
7 " Every day is a blank canvas to use our free will to create something beautiful for our Creator. "
― Alisa Hope Wagner , Eve of Awakening (The Onoma Series Book 1)
