“God gave us free will so that we might choose our own destinies. He left it up to us to achieve them.”
“God gave us our relatives: thank god we can choose our friends.”
“We should always choose our books as God chooses our friends, just a bit beyond us, so that we have to do our level best to keep up with them.”
“The gods made our bodies as well as our souls, is it not so? They give us voices, so we might worship them with song. They give us hands, so we might build them temples. And they give us desire, so we might mate and worship them in that way.”
“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.”
“God gave us memory so that we might have roses in December.”
