Willfulness

The star of the unconquered will.

Longfellow.

To wilful men the injuries that they themselves procure must be their schoolmasters.

Shakespeare.

Muse not that I thus suddenly proceed;
For what I will, I will, and there an end.

Shakespeare.

Self-will is so ardent and active that it will break a world to pieces to make a stool to sit upon.

Cecil.
