The belief in free-will is not in the least incompatible with the belief in Providence, provided you do not restrict the Providence to fulminating nothing but fatal decrees.

The question of free will is insoluble on strictly psychological grounds

Free Will does not say that everything that is physically conceivable is also morally possible. It merely says that of alternatives that really tempt our will more than one is really possible.

My first act of free will shall be to believe in free will.

To extinguish the free will is to strike the conscience with death, for both have but one and the same life.

This free will business is a bit terrifying anyway. It's almost pleasanter to obey, and make the most of it.
