She is but half a wife that is not, nor is capable of being, a friend.
William Penn
Image
Where thou art Obliged to speak, be sure speak the Truth: For Equivocation is half way to Lying, as Lying, the whole way to Hell.
William Penn
Image
Let the people think they govern and they will be governed.
William Penn
Image
Children, Fear God that is to say, have an holy awe upon your minds to avoid that which is evil, and a strict care to embrace and do that which is good.
William Penn
