More quotes by William Penn
The receipts of cookery are swelled to a volume but a good stomach excels them all.
William Penn
Above all things endeavor to breed them up the love of virtue, and that holy plain way of it which we have lived in, that the world in no part of it get into my family. 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.
William Penn
Nor must we always be neutral where our neighbors are concerned: for tho' meddling is a fault, helping is a duty.
William Penn
If we would mend the World, we should mend Ourselves and teach our Children to be, not what we are, but what they should be.
William Penn
We are told truly that meekness and modesty are the rich and charming garments of the soul. The less showy our outward attire is, the more distinctly and brilliantly does the beauty of these inner garments shine.
William Penn
To hazard much to get much has more of avarice than wisdom.
William Penn
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
Wherefore, brethren, let us be careful neither to out-go our guide, nor yet loiter behind him since he that makes haste, may miss his way, and he that stays behind, lose his guide.
William Penn
It is safer to learn than teach and who conceals his opinion has nothing to answer for.
William Penn
Never despise what you don't understand.
William Penn
For death is no more than a turning of us over from time to eternity.
William Penn
The way, like the cross, is spiritual: that is an inward submission of the soul to the will of God, as it is manifested by the light of Christ in the consciences of men, though it be contrary to their own inclinations.
William Penn
Sense shines with double lustre when set in humility.
William Penn
Do good with what thou hast, or it will do thee no good.
William Penn
If thou thinkest twice before thou speakest once, thou wilt speak twice the better for it.
William Penn
If you protect a man from folly, you will soon have a nation of fools.
William Penn
Where Example keeps pace with Authority, Power hardly fails to be obey'd.
William Penn
There is a troublesome humor some men have, that if they may not lead, they will not follow but had rather a thing were never done, than not done their own way, tho' other ways very desirable.
William Penn
Death is but crossing the world, as friends do the seas they live in one another still.
William Penn
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
