More quotes by 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
For death is no more than a turning of us over from time to eternity.
William Penn
No pain, no palm no thorns, no throne no gall, no glory no cross, no crown.
William Penn
In all debates, let truth be thy aim, not victory, or an unjust interest.
William Penn
Friendship is the next pleasure we may hope for: and where we find it not at home, or have no home to find it in, we may seek it abroad. It is an union of spirits, a marriage of hearts, and the bond thereof virtue.
William Penn
Between a Man and his Wife nothing ought to rule but Love. Believe nothing against another but on good authority and never report what may hurt another, unless it be a greater hurt to some other to conceal it.
William Penn
It is profitable wisdom to know when we have done enough: Much time and pains are spared in not flattering ourselves against probabilities.
William Penn
The adventure of the Christian life begins when we dare to do what we would never tackle without Christ.
William Penn
Silence is Wisdom where Speaking is Folly.
William Penn
You are now fixed at the mercy of no governor that comes to make his fortune great you shall be governed by laws of your own making and live a free, and if you will, a sober and industrious life. I shall not usurp the right of any, or oppress his person. God has furnished me with a better resolution and has given me his grace to keep it.
William Penn
Religion itself is nothing else but Love to God and Man. He that lives in Love lives in God, says the Beloved Disciple: And to be sure a Man can live no where better.
William Penn
The best recreation is to do good.
William Penn
Dislike what deserves it, but never hate: for that is of the nature of malice which is almost ever to persons, not things, and is one of the blackest qualities sin begets in the soul.
William Penn
And he that is taught to live upon little, owes more to his father's wisdom, than he that has a great deal left him, does to his father's care.
William Penn
Those who live to live forever, never fear dying.
William Penn
We are told truly that meekness and modesty are the rich and charming garments of the soul. The less showy our outward attire is, the more distinctly and brilliantly does the beauty of these inner garments shine.
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
No people can be truly happy... if abridged of the freedom of their consciences
William Penn
Covetousness is the greatest of monsters, as well as the root of all evil.
William Penn
It would be far better to be of no church than to be bitter of any.
William Penn
