William Penn
Tis the glory of a man to vail to truth as it is the mark of a good nature to be easily entreated.
William Penn
Less judgment than wit is more sail than ballast.
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
Next to God, thy parents.
William Penn
Never give out while there is hope but hope not beyond reason, for that shows more desire than judgement.
William Penn
A man, like a watch, is to be valued for his manner of going.
William Penn
Men must be governed by God or they will be ruled by tyrants.
William Penn
