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.

And he that is taught to live upon little, owes more to his father's wisdom, than he that has a great deal left him, does to his father's care.
William Penn
You are Englishmen mind your privileges, give not away your right.
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
Oppression makes a poor country.
William Penn
To be a man's own fool is bad enough, but the vain man is everybody's.
William Penn
Friendship is the next pleasure we may hope for: and where we find it not at home, or have no home to find it in, we may seek it abroad. It is an union of spirits, a marriage of hearts, and the bond thereof virtue.
William Penn
