More quotes by William Penn
Religion is the fear of God, and its demonstration good works and faith is the root of both: For without faith we cannot please God nor can we fear what we do not believe.
William Penn
Death cannot kill what never dies.
William Penn
True Godliness doesn't turn men out of the world, but enables them to live better in it, and excites their endeavors to mend it. ...We have nothing that we can call our own no, not our selves: for we are all but Tenants, and at Will, too, of the great Lord of our selves, and the rest of this great farm, the World that we live upon.
William Penn
Let men be good, and the Government cannot be bad.
William Penn
It is a cruel folly to offer up to ostentation so many lives of creatures, as to make up the state of our treats.
William Penn
The secret of happiness is to count your blessings while others are adding up their troubles.
William Penn
Where charity keeps pace with gain, industry is blessed.
William Penn
You are now fixed at the mercy of no governor that comes to make his fortune great you shall be governed by laws of your own making and live a free, and if you will, a sober and industrious life. I shall not usurp the right of any, or oppress his person. God has furnished me with a better resolution and has given me his grace to keep it.
William Penn
Naked Truth needs no shift.
William Penn

William Penn
A wise neuter joins with neither, but uses both as his honest interest leads him.
William Penn
O Lord, help me not to despise or oppose what I do not understand.
William Penn
Between a Man and his Wife nothing ought to rule but Love. Believe nothing against another but on good authority and never report what may hurt another, unless it be a greater hurt to some other to conceal it.
William Penn
We are too careless of posterity not considering that as they are, so the next generation will be.
William Penn
Love is indeed Heaven upon Earth since Heaven above would not be Heaven without it: For where there is not Love there is Fear: But perfect Love casts out Fear. And yet we naturally fear most to offend what we most Love.
William Penn
A jealous man only sees his own spectrum when he looks upon other men, and gives his character in theirs.
William Penn
For as men in battle are continually in the way of shot, so we, in this world, are ever within the reach of Temptation.
William Penn
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
Those who live to live forever, never fear dying.
William Penn
The public must and will be served.
