More quotes by 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
It is a coal from God's altar must kindle our fire and without fire, true fire, no acceptable sacrifice.
William Penn
Death then, being the way and condition of life, we cannot love to live if we cannot bear to die.
William Penn
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.
William Penn
True godliness does not turn men out of the world, but enables them to live better in it and excites their endeavors to mend it.

William Penn

William Penn
Never marry but for love but see that thou lov'st what is lovely.
William Penn
If a civil word or two will render a man happy, he must be a wretch indeed who will not tell them to him.
William Penn
Knowledge is the treasure of a wise man.
William Penn
Anything less than full justice is cruelty.
William Penn
To be innocent is to be not guilty but to be virtuous is to overcome our evil inclinations.
William Penn
It were happy if we studied nature more in natural things and acted according to nature, whose rules are few, plain, and most reasonable.
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. In fine, he that is drunk is not a man: because he is so long void of Reason, that distinguishes a Man from a Beast.
William Penn
Disappointments that aren't a result of our own foolishness are a testing of our faith or a correction from heaven, and it is our own fault if these disappointments don't work for our own good.
William Penn
