William Penn
Image
All excess is ill, but drunkenness is of the worst sort. It spoils health, dismounts the mind, and unmans men. It reveals secrets, is quarrelsome, lascivious, impudent, dangerous and mad. In fine, he that is drunk is not a man: because he is so long void of Reason, that distinguishes a Man from a Beast.
William Penn
Image

William Penn
Image

William Penn
Image
Though our Savior's passion is over, his compassion is not.
William Penn
Image
A wise neuter joins with neither, but uses both as his honest interest leads him.
William Penn
Image
Some men do as much begrudge others a good name, as they want one themselves: and perhaps that is the reason of it.
William Penn
Image
Where judgment has wit to express it, there's the best orator.
William Penn
Image
It is a coal from God's altar must kindle our fire and without fire, true fire, no acceptable sacrifice.
William Penn
Image
He that lives in love lives in God.
