#will

Sickness is a hindrance to the body, but not to your will, unless itself wills it.

Lameness is an impediment to the leg, but not to the will; and say this to yourself with regard to everything that happens.

'Tell the secret.' I refuse, for this is in my power. 'But I will chain you.' What are you saying? You may chain my leg, but not my will; not even Zeus can conquer that.

Can you give yourself your own evil and your own good and hang your will above yourself like a law?

He who has a firm will molds the world to himself.

Never say 'No', never say 'I cannot', for you are infinite. All the power is within you.

The mind that knows no fear knows no defeat.

Sheer will and faith are the twin wings of spiritual victory.

Water will rise to the height of the lily that floats upon it; so will a human rise to the height of their own aspirations. (Kural 595)

Do not say 'I will practice virtue tomorrow'; practice it today, for death makes no promises. (Kural 36)

Failure will never overtake me if my determination to succeed is strong enough.

Knowing is not enough; we must apply. Willing is not enough; we must do.

I am no bird; and no net ensnares me; I am a free human being with an independent will.
