William Penn
Image
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.

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.

Image
Passion is a sort of fever in the mind, which ever leaves us weaker than it found us.

No religion is better than an unnatural one.
William Penn
Image
True Godliness doesn't turn men out of the world, but enables them to live better in it, and excites their endeavors to mend it. ...We have nothing that we can call our own no, not our selves: for we are all but Tenants, and at Will, too, of the great Lord of our selves, and the rest of this great farm, the World that we live upon.
William Penn
Image
The jealous are troublesome to others, but a torment to themselves.
William Penn
Image
Wit gives an edge to sense, and recommends it extremely.
William Penn
Image
If a civil word or two will render a man happy, he must be a wretch indeed who will not give them to him. Such a disposition is like lighting another man's candle by one's own, which loses none of its brilliancy by what the other gains.
William Penn
Image
Where judgment has wit to express it, there's the best orator.
