Image
The usefulest truths are the plainest.
William Penn
Image
The adventure of the Christian life begins when we dare to do what we would never tackle without Christ.
William Penn
Image
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
Image
There can be no friendship where there is no freedom. Friendship loves a free air, and will not be fenced up in straight and narrow enclosures.
William Penn
Image
The usefullest truths are plainest and while we keep to them, our differences cannot rise high.
William Penn
Image
Truth often suffers more by the heat of its defenders than the arguments of its opposers.
William Penn
Image
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
Image
Neither great nor good things were ever attained without loss and hardships. Those that would reap and not labour, must faint with the wind, and perish in disappointments but an hair of my head shall not fall, without the providence of my Father that is over all.
William Penn
Image
In the rush and noise of life, as you have intervals, step home within yourselves and be still. Wait upon God, and feel His good presence this will carry you evenly through your day's business.
William Penn
Image
Next to God, thy parents.
William Penn
Image
Passion is a sort of fever in the mind, which ever leaves us weaker than it found us.
William Penn
Image
Death is but crossing the world, as friends do the seas they live in one another still.
William Penn
Image
It is a cruel folly to offer up to ostentation so many lives of creatures, as to make up the state of our treats.
William Penn
Image
Wit gives an edge to sense, and recommends it extremely.
William Penn
Image
They that censure, should practice. Or else let them have the first stone, and the last too.
William Penn
Image
Never chide with anger, but instruction.
William Penn
Image
Never esteem people (including yourself) more because they have money, nor think less of anyone (including yourself) because they lack it. Virtue is the only just reason for respecting anyone, lack of virtue the only reason for holding anyone in low regard.
William Penn
Image
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
Image
But make not more business necessary than is so and rather lessen than augment work for thyself.
William Penn
Image
Haste makes work which caution prevents.
