More quotes by William Penn
Knowledge is the treasure, but judgment the treasurer, of a wise man.
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
Let us see what love can do.
William Penn
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
If a civil word or two will render a man happy, he must be a wretch indeed who will not tell them to him.
William Penn
If you protect a man from folly, you will soon have a nation of fools.
William Penn
Cunning to wise, is as an Ape to a Man.
William Penn
He that has more Knowledge than Judgment, is made for another Man's use more than his own.
William Penn
If it be an evil to judge rashly or untruly any single man, how much a greater sin it is to condemn a whole people.
William Penn
Inquire often, but judge rarely, and thou wilt not often be mistaken.
William Penn
Anything less than full justice is cruelty.
William Penn
They that love beyond the world cannot be separated by it. Death cannot kill what never dies.
William Penn
Force may make hypocrites, but it can never make converts.
William Penn
Friendship is the union of spirits.
William Penn
Death cannot kill what never dies.
William Penn
Show is not substance realities govern wise men.
William Penn
Time is what we want most, but what we use worst.
William Penn
For as men in battle are continually in the way of shot, so we, in this world, are ever within the reach of Temptation.
William Penn
There is nothing of which we are apt to be so lavish as of time, and about which we ought to be more solicitous since without it we can do nothing in this world.
William Penn
Justice is justly represented blind, because she sees no difference in the parties concerned. She has but one scale and weight, for rich and poor, great and small.
William Penn
