William Penn
Image
If thou wouldn't conquer thy weakness thou must not gratify it.
William Penn
Image
Never esteem people (including yourself) more because they have money, nor think less of anyone (including yourself) because they lack it. Virtue is the only just reason for respecting anyone, lack of virtue the only reason for holding anyone in low regard.
William Penn
Image
There is a troublesome humor some men have, that if they may not lead, they will not follow but had rather a thing were never done, than not done their own way, tho' other ways very desirable.
William Penn
Image
The receipts of cookery are swelled to a volume but a good stomach excels them all.
William Penn
Image
The wisdom of nations lies in their proverbs, which are brief and pithy. Collect and learn them they are notable measures of directions for human life you have much in little they save time in speaking and upon occasion may be the fullest and safest answer.
William Penn
Image
To have religion upon authority, and not upon conviction, is like a finger-watch, to be set forwards or backwards, as he pleases that has it in keeping.
