William Penn
Image
Nothing but a good life can fit men for a better one hereafter.
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.
William Penn
Image
Charity is ... a universal remedy against discord, and an holy cement for mankind.
William Penn
Image
Knowledge is the treasure, but judgment the treasurer, of a wise man.
