6 quotes on free will
Freedom is what you do with what's been done to you.
We shape our buildings; thereafter they shape us.
A bad system will beat a good person every time.
I again saw under the sun that the race is not to the swift and the battle is not to the warriors, and neither is bread to the wise nor wealth to the discerning, nor favor to the skillful; for time and chance overtake them all.
Be convinced that to be happy means to be free and that to be free means to be brave. Therefore do not take lightly the perils of war.
Because freedom, I am told, is nothing but the distance between the hunter and its prey.
Freedom is what you do with what's been done to you.
