It is the amends of a short and troublesome life, that doing good and suffering ill entitles man to a longer and better.
William Penn
Image
Inquiry is human blind obedience brutal. Truth never loses by the one but often suffers by the other.
William Penn
Image
What man in his right mind would conspire his own hurt? Men are beside themselves when they transgress against their convictions.
William Penn
Image
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
Image
We are apt to be very pert at censuring others, where we will not endure advice.
William Penn
Image
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
Image
The wisdom of nations lies in their proverbs, which are brief and pithy. Collect and learn them they are notable measures of directions for human life you have much in little they save time in speaking and upon occasion may be the fullest and safest answer.
William Penn
Image
If we are but sure the end is right, we are too apt to gallop over all bounds to compass it not considering the lawful ends may be very unlawfully attained.
William Penn
Image
A vain man is a nauseous creature: he is so full of himself that he has no room for anything else, be it never so good or deserving.
William Penn
Image
Neither despise nor oppose what thou dost not understand.
William Penn
Image
The country life is to be preferred, for there we see the works of God but in cities little else but the works of men. And the one makes a better subject for contemplation than the other.
William Penn
Image
Religion is nothing else but love of God and man.
William Penn
Image
Charity is ... a universal remedy against discord, and an holy cement for mankind.
William Penn
Image
That plenty should produce either covetousness or prodigality is a perversion of providence and yet the generality of men are the worse for their riches.
William Penn
Image
Always remember to bound thy thoughts to the present occasion.
William Penn
Image
He who gives to the poor, lends to the Lord. But it may be said, not improperly, the Lord lends to us to give to the poor.
William Penn
Image
Experience is a safe guide.
William Penn
Image
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
Image
It would go a long way to caution and direct people in their use of the world that they would better studied and known in the creation of it. For how could man find the confidence to abuse it, while they should see the Great Creator stare them in the face, in all and every part thereof?
William Penn
Image
If thou wouldst conquer thy weakness, thou must never gratify it. No man is compelled to evil: his consent only makes it his. It is no sin to be tempted, but to be overcome.
