Image
[Tho]ugh death be a dark passage it leads to immortality, and that is recompense enough for suffering of it. And yet faith lights us, even through the grave....And this is the comfort of the good, and the grave cannot hold them, and they live as they die. For death is no more than a turning of us over from time to eternity.

William Penn
Image
To have religion upon authority, and not upon conviction, is like a finger-watch, to be set forwards or backwards, as he pleases that has it in keeping.
William Penn
Image
It is safer to learn than teach and who conceals his opinion has nothing to answer for.
William Penn
Image
Not to be provok'd is best: But if mov'd, never correct till the fume is spent for every stroke our fury strikes, is sure to hit our selves at last.
William Penn
Image
For we put the power in the people.
William Penn
Image
Death is only a horizon, and a horizon is only the limit of your sight. Open your eyes to see more clearly.
William Penn
Image
It is the amends of a short and troublesome life, that doing good and suffering ill entitles man to a longer and better.
William Penn
Image
Let us try what love will do.
