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
Knowledge is the treasure, but judgment the treasurer, of a wise man.
William Penn
Let the people think they govern and they will be governed.

[I]t is impossible that any people of government should ever prosper, where men render not unto God, that which is God's, as well as to Caesar, that which is Caesar's.
William Penn

William Penn
My prison shall be my grave before I will budge a jot for I owe my conscience to no mortal man.
William Penn
Man, being made reasonable, and so a thinking creature, there is nothing more worthy of his being than the right direction and employment of his thoughts since upon this depends both his usefulness to the public, and his own present and future benefit in all respects.
William Penn
We are apt to love praise, but not deserve it. But if we would deserve it, we must love virtue more than that.
William Penn
We are inclined to call things by the wrong names. We call prosperity 'happiness', and adversity 'misery' eventhough adversity is the school of wisdom and often the way to eternal happiness.
William Penn
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
Nor must we always be neutral where our neighbors are concerned: for tho' meddling is a fault, helping is a duty.
