More quotes by William Penn
Men must be governed by God or they will be ruled by tyrants.
William Penn
If thou wouldst conquer thy weakness, thou must never gratify it. No man is compelled to evil: his consent only makes it his. It is no sin to be tempted, but to be overcome.
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
Unless virtue guide us our choice must be wrong.
William Penn
And he that is taught to live upon little, owes more to his father's wisdom, than he that has a great deal left him, does to his father's care.
William Penn

William Penn
Religion is nothing else but love of God and man.
William Penn
If we would mend the World, we should mend Ourselves and teach our Children to be, not what we are, but what they should be.

William Penn
But make not more business necessary than is so and rather lessen than augment work for thyself.
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
For death is no more than a turning of us over from time to eternity.
William Penn
Let us try what love will do.
William Penn
Covetousness is the greatest of monsters, as well as the root of all evil.
William Penn
To do evil that good may come of it is for bunglers in politics as well as morals.
William Penn
The usefulest truths are the plainest.
William Penn
Less judgment than wit is more sail than ballast.
William Penn
