Image
Dislike what deserves it, but never hate: for that is of the nature of malice which is almost ever to persons, not things, and is one of the blackest qualities sin begets in the soul.
William Penn
Image
Nothing shows our weakness more than to be so sharp-sighted at spying other men's faults, and so purblind about our own.
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
Choose a friend as thou dost a wife, till death separate you.
William Penn
Image
Never esteem people (including yourself) more because they have money, nor think less of anyone (including yourself) because they lack it. Virtue is the only just reason for respecting anyone, lack of virtue the only reason for holding anyone in low regard.
William Penn
Image
We need to stop arguing about Christ and start living like Christ.
William Penn
Image
Sense shines with double lustre when set in humility.
William Penn
Image
Men must be governed by God or they will be ruled by tyrants.

False-dealing travels a short road, and surely detected.
William Penn
Image
Religion is nothing else but love of God and man.
William Penn
Image
Choose thy clothes by thine own eyes, not another's.

A man, like a watch, is to be valued for his manner of going.
