More quotes by William Penn
The truest end of life is to know the life that never ends.
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
Death cannot kill that which does not die.
William Penn
A vain man is a nauseous creature: he is so full of himself that he has no room for anything else, be it never so good or deserving.
William Penn
Love is the hardest lesson in Christianity but, for that reason, it should be most our care to learn it.
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

William Penn
We need to stop arguing about Christ and start living like Christ.
William Penn

William Penn
A man, like a watch, is to be valued for his manner of going.
William Penn
Always remember to bound thy thoughts to the present occasion.
William Penn
It is a severe rebuke upon us, that God makes us so many allowances, and we make so few to our neighbour.
William Penn
The adventure of the Christian life begins when we dare to do what we would never tackle without Christ.
William Penn
I know no religion that destroys courtesy, civility, and kindness.
William Penn
The jealous are troublesome to others, but a torment to themselves.
William Penn
Anything less than full justice is cruelty.
William Penn
The secret of happiness is to count your blessings while others are adding up their troubles.
William Penn
For nothing reaches the heart but what is from the heart, or pierces the conscience but what comes from a living conscience
William Penn
He that lives in love lives in God.
William Penn
For though Death be a dark passage, it leads to immortality, and that is recompence enough for suffering of it.
William Penn
