More quotes by William Penn
Love grows, lust wastes by enjoyment.
William Penn
Is it reasonable to take it ill, that anybody desires of us that which is their own? All we have is the Almighty's and shall not God have his own when he calls for it?
William Penn
Only trust thyself, and another shall not betray thee.
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
A jealous man only sees his own spectrum when he looks upon other men, and gives his character in theirs.
William Penn
Sense shines with double lustre when set in humility.
William Penn
Passion is a sort of fever in the mind, which ever leaves us weaker than it found us.
William Penn
The jealous are troublesome to others, but a torment to themselves.
William Penn
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
Death cannot kill what never dies.
William Penn
They that censure, should practice. Or else let them have the first stone, and the last too.
William Penn
There can be no Friendship where there is no Freedom.
William Penn
Men being born with a title to perfect freedom and uncontrolled enjoyment of all the rights and privileges of the law of nature. No one can be put out of his estate and subjected to the political view of another, without his consent.
William Penn
God sends us the poor to try us.... And he that refuses them a little out of the great deal that God has given lays up poverty in store for his own posterity.
William Penn
Love is indeed Heaven upon Earth since Heaven above would not be Heaven without it: For where there is not Love there is Fear: But perfect Love casts out Fear. And yet we naturally fear most to offend what we most Love.
William Penn
He that does good for good's sake seeks neither paradise nor reward, but he is sure of both in the end.
William Penn
Be sure that religion cannot be right that a man is the worse for having.
William Penn
To have religion upon authority, and not upon conviction, is like a finger-watch, to be set forwards or backwards, as he pleases that has it in keeping.
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
Religion is nothing else but love of God and man.
William Penn
