More quotes by William Penn
Levity of behavior, always a weakness, is far more unbecoming in a woman than a man.
William Penn
If thou wouldst rule well, thou must rule for God, and to do that, thou must be ruled by him. Those who will not be governed by God will be ruled by tyrants.
William Penn
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

William Penn
If a civil word or two will render a man happy, he must be a wretch indeed who will not give them to him. Such a disposition is like lighting another man's candle by one's own, which loses none of its brilliancy by what the other gains.
William Penn

Passion is the mob of the man, that commits a riot upon his reason.
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
The public must and will be served.
William Penn
If thy debtor be honest and capable, thou hast thy money again, if not with increase, with praise if he prove insolvent, don't ruin him to get that which it will not ruin thee to lose, for thou art but a steward.
William Penn
Religion is nothing else but love of God and man.
William Penn
Above all things endeavor to breed them up the love of virtue, and that holy plain way of it which we have lived in, that the world in no part of it get into my family. I had rather they we're homely than finely bred as to outward behavior yet I love sweetness mixed with gravity, and cheerfulness tempered with sobriety.
William Penn
Less judgment than wit is more sail than ballast. Yet it must be confessed that wit given an edge to sense, and recommends it extremely.
William Penn
Avoid popularity it has many snares, and no real benefit.
