More quotes by William Penn

William Penn
Were the superfluities of a nation valued, and made a perpetual tax or benevolence, there would be more alms-houses than poor, schools than scholars, and enough to spare for government besides.
William Penn
It is certain that the most natural and human government is that of consent, for that binds freely, ... when men hold their liberty by true obedience to rules of their own making.
William Penn
The Remedy often proves worse than the Disease.
William Penn
Death cannot kill that which does not die.

William Penn
Between a man and his wife nothing ought to rule but love. Authority is for children and servants, yet not without sweetness.
William Penn
The only fountain in the wilderness of life, where man drinks of water totally unmixed with bitterness, is that which gushes for him in the calm and shady recess of domestic life.
William Penn
That plenty should produce either covetousness or prodigality is a perversion of providence and yet the generality of men are the worse for their riches.
William Penn
To do evil that good may come of it is for bunglers in politics as well as morals.
