More quotes by William Penn

William Penn
'Tis no sin to be tempted, but to be overcome.
William Penn
Choose a friend as thou dost a wife, till death separate you.
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
There can be no Friendship where there is no Freedom.
William Penn
There is a truth and beauty in rhetoric but it oftener serves ill turns than good ones.

William Penn
If thy debtor be honest and capable, thou hast thy money again, if not with increase, with praise if he prove insolvent, don't ruin him to get that which it will not ruin thee to lose, for thou art but a steward.
William Penn
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
Love labour: for if thou dost not want it for food, thou mayest for physique. It is wholesome for the body, and good for the mind. It prevents the fruits of idleness, which many times come of nothing to do, and leads many to do what is worse than nothing.
William Penn
And he that is taught to live upon little, owes more to his father's wisdom, than he that has a great deal left him, does to his father's care.
William Penn
In all debates, let truth be thy aim, not victory, or an unjust interest.
William Penn
You are Englishmen mind your privileges, give not away your right.
William Penn
They have a right to censure that have a heart to help.
William Penn
