More quotes by William Penn
We have a call to do good, as often as we have the power and occasion.
William Penn
I shall pass through life but once. Let me show kindness now, as I shall not pass this way again.
William Penn
There is nothing of which we are apt to be so lavish as of time, and about which we ought to be more solicitous since without it we can do nothing in this world.
William Penn
All excess is ill, but drunkenness is of the worst sort. It spoils health, dismounts the mind, and unmans men. It reveals secrets, is quarrelsome, lascivious, impudent, dangerous and mad. In fine, he that is drunk is not a man: because he is so long void of Reason, that distinguishes a Man from a Beast.
William Penn
Peace can only be secured by justice never by force of arms.
William Penn
We are apt to be very pert at censuring others, where we will not endure advice.
William Penn
Method goes far to prevent trouble in business: for it makes the task easy, hinders confusion, saves abundance of time, and instructs those that have business depending, both what to do and what to hope.
William Penn
Kings in this world should imitate God, their mercy should be above their works.
William Penn
The adventure of the Christian life begins when we dare to do what we would never tackle without Christ.
William Penn
Let the people think they govern and they will be governed.
William Penn
Inquiry is human blind obedience brutal. Truth never loses by the one but often suffers by the other.
William Penn
It is the difference betwixt lust and love that this is fixed, that volatile. Love grows, lust wastes by enjoyment.
William Penn
If a civil word or two will render a man happy, he must be a wretch indeed who will not tell them to him.
William Penn
If you protect a man from folly, you will soon have a nation of fools.
William Penn
He that does good for good's sake seeks neither paradise nor reward, but he is sure of both in the end.
William Penn
The humble, meek, merciful, and just are everywhere of one religion and when death has taken off the mask they will know one another, though the diverse liveries they wear here make them strangers.
William Penn
Love labour: for if thou dost not want it for food, thou mayest for physique. It is wholesome for the body, and good for the mind. It prevents the fruits of idleness, which many times come of nothing to do, and leads many to do what is worse than nothing.
William Penn
I expect to pass through this world but once. Any good therefore that I can do ... let me do it now.
William Penn
The tallest Trees are most in the Power of the Winds, and Ambitious Men of the Blasts of Fortune.
William Penn
Humility and knowledge in poor clothes excel pride and ignorance in costly attire.
William Penn
