{{Cquote|'''The meaning of the word "will" according to Ephraim:'''
*"One of the basic abilities of a person, consisting in the conscious regulation of one's behavior, the management of one's actions.
*Conscious desire to fulfill or achieve the goal; tenacity, perseverance
'''"Will" in the Encyclopedic Dictionary:'''
*Will - ability to choose activities and internal efforts necessary for its implementation.
*A specific act that allows a person to resist the power of spontaneous wants and impulsive desires: for him, it is not the case of "I want" that is of priority, but rather "this is necessary," "It’s a must," creates the awareness of the characteristic value of the goal of his action.
*Will includes decision making, often accompanied by a struggle of motives and its implementation.<ref>''A Man or a Mouse'' by Sunday Adelaja, Chapter 2, Golden Truth Publishing. 2018. Kindle Edition.</ref>}}
