William Penn
The receipts of cookery are swelled to a volume but a good stomach excels them all.
William Penn
But make not more business necessary than is so and rather lessen than augment work for thyself.
William Penn

William Penn

William Penn
Though our Savior's passion is over, his compassion is not.
William Penn
Oppression makes a poor country.

William Penn
Clear therefore thy head, and rally, and manage thy thoughts rightly, and thou wilt save time, and see and do thy business well for thy judgment will be distinct, thy mind free, and the faculties strong and regular.
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
There can be no friendship where there is no freedom. Friendship loves a free air, and will not be fenced up in straight and narrow enclosures.
William Penn
Hasty resolutions are of the nature of vows, and to be equally avoided.
William Penn
Between a Man and his Wife nothing ought to rule but Love. Believe nothing against another but on good authority and never report what may hurt another, unless it be a greater hurt to some other to conceal it.
William Penn
It is certain that the most natural and human government is that of consent, for that binds freely, ... when men hold their liberty by true obedience to rules of their own making.
William Penn
Sense shines with double lustre when set in humility.
