We are told truly that meekness and modesty are the rich and charming garments of the soul. The less showy our outward attire is, the more distinctly and brilliantly does the beauty of these inner garments shine.
William Penn
Image
Love grows. Lust wastes by Enjoyment, and the Reason is, that one springs from an Union of Souls, and the other from an Union of Sense.
William Penn
Image
I expect to pass through life but once. If therefore, there be any kindness I can show, or any good thing I can do to any fellow being, let me do it now, and not defer or neglect it, as I shall not pass this way again.
William Penn
Image
For though Death be a dark passage, it leads to immortality, and that is recompence enough for suffering of it.
William Penn
Image
Men are generally more careful of the breed of their horses and dogs than of their children.
William Penn
Image
