For Henry the will is characterized by the capacity for self-motion. ❋ Unknown (2009)

Clarke steadfastly maintained that matter has neither an essential nor an accidental power of self-motion. ❋ Vailati, Ezio (2009)

In fact, he goes further, and admits self-motion in physical cases as well: for example, a falling object is actively moving towards its goal, and its motion is caused by itself (because it is heavy); so this, too, is an instance of self-motion (Effler 1962). ❋ White, Graham (2009)
