Will

Will
   The Will Is, in Its Nature, Free
   But the will is so free in its nature, that it can never be constrained. . . . And the whole action of the soul consists in this, that solely because it desires something, it causes a little gland to which it is closely united to move in a way requisite to produce the effect which relates to this desire. (Descartes, 1897-1910, p. 350)
