More quotes by William Penn
A Garden, an Elaboratory, a Work - house, Improvements and Breeding, are pleasant and Profitable Diversions to the Idle and Ingenious: For here they miss Ill Company, and converse with Nature and Art whose Variety are equally grateful and instructing and preserve a good Constitution of Body and Mind.
William Penn
[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
We have a call to do good, as often as we have the power and occasion.
William Penn
Let us try what love will do.
William Penn
Right is right, even if everyone is against it, and wrong is wrong, even if everyone is for it.
William Penn
Love labor: for if thou dost not want it for food, thou mayest for physic. It is wholesome for thy body and good for thy mind.
William Penn
Friendship is the union of spirits.
William Penn

William Penn
Where thou art Obliged to speak, be sure speak the Truth: For Equivocation is half way to Lying, as Lying, the whole way to Hell.
William Penn
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
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
To do evil that good may come of it is for bunglers in politics as well as morals.
William Penn
To hazard much to get much has more of avarice than wisdom.
William Penn
Let the people think they govern and they will be governed.
William Penn
No people can be truly happy... if abridged of the freedom of their consciences
William Penn
Government seems to me to be a part of religion itself - a thing sacred in its institutions and ends.
William Penn
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.
William Penn
Never marry but for love but see that thou lov'st what is lovely.
William Penn
If thou wouldst rule well, thou must rule for God, and to do that, thou must be ruled by him. Those who will not be governed by God will be ruled by tyrants.
William Penn
Death cannot kill that which does not die.
William Penn
