As far as you are concerned the present is your point of action, focus and power, and from that point of volition you form both your future and past. Realizing this, you will understand that you are not at the mercy of a past over which you have no control Picture Quote #1

The idea of original sin--of guilt with no possibility of innocence, no freedom of choice, no alternatives--inherently militates against self-esteem. The very notion of guilt without volition or responsibility is an assault on reason as well as on morality. Sin is not original, it is originated--like virtue Picture Quote #1

When we watch a play under the standard circumstances, we’ve lost volition and time is passing. A still play feels like an existential threat Picture Quote #1

Empirical debunking cannot reach the deepest fear of the reactionary mind, which is that the state - that devouring leviathan - will soon swallow up all traces of human volition and dignity. The conclusion is based on conservative moral convictions that reason can’t shake Picture Quote #1

I’m using my own person in pieces, but I’m trying to turn my person into a nonperson in the sense of a person without will, without volition. I’m subjecting myself to a scheme Picture Quote #1

Certain seeds it will not nurture, certain fruit it will not bear and when the land kills of its own volition, we acquiesce and say the victim had no right to live Picture Quote #1

You've got to lapse out before you can know what sensual reality is, lapse into unknowingness, and give up your volition... You've got to learn not to be before you can come into being Picture Quote #1

That’s the difference between irony and sarcasm. Irony can be spontaneous, while sarcasm requires volition. You have to create sarcasm Picture Quote #1

A person with half volition goes backwards and forwards, but makes no progress on even the smoothest of roads Picture Quote #1

We must look deeply into the nature of our volition to see whether it is pushing us in the direction of liberation from suffering and toward peace and compassion, or in the direction of affliction and misery. What is it that we really want deep in our heart? Is it money, fame, power? Or is it finding inner peace, being able to live life fully and enjoy the present moment? Picture Quote #1

Liberty is the dream that we can all work together, in ways of our choosing and of our own human volition, to realize a better life Picture Quote #1

That isn’t to say there are not times when major change happens, but my experience is that particularly when you’re encouraging businesses to change of their own volition, the change is more slow over time. I don’t think global trade is going to go away. I think it’s unlikely that global trade and multinationals are not going to be around Picture Quote #1

Forgetting is something that time takes care of, but forgiveness is an act of volition, and only the sufferer is qualified to make the decision Picture Quote #1

The mind is still haunted with its old unconscious ways; it broods on lost authorities; and the yearning, the deep and hollowing yearning for divine volition and service is with us still Picture Quote #1

The other thing I like, in fact, several months ago I introduced a bill to end the absurd catch and release policy where our government has been giving tickets, essentially, to people who enter illegally and then letting them go and show up of their own volition Picture Quote #1
