William Penn quotes

Only trust thyself, and another shall not betray thee.

He who is taught to live upon little owes more to his father's wisdom than he who has a great deal left him does to his father's care.

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.

Knowledge is the treasure of a wise man.

The tallest Trees are most in the Power of the Winds, and Ambitious Men of the Blasts of Fortune.

In marriage do thou be wise: prefer the person before money, virtue before beauty, the mind before the body; then thou hast a wife, a friend, a companion, a second self.

Some are so very studious of learning what was done by the ancients that they know not how to live with the moderns.

Truth often suffers more by the heat of its defenders than the arguments of its opposers.

For death is no more than a turning of us over from time to eternity.

Patience and Diligence, like faith, remove mountains.

The jealous are troublesome to others, but a torment to themselves.

A true friend freely, advises justly, assists readily, adventures boldly, takes all patiently, defends courageously, and continues a friend unchangeably.

In marriage do thou be wise: prefer the person before money, virtue before beauty, the mind before the body; then thou hast a wife, a friend, a companion, a second self.

Men must be governed by God or they will be ruled by tyrants.

For death is no more than a turning of us over from time to eternity.

Rarely promise, but, if lawful, constantly perform.

Let the people think they govern and they will be governed.

Avoid popularity; it has many snares, and no real benefit.

In marriage do thou be wise: prefer the person before money, virtue before beauty, the mind before the body; then thou hast a wife, a friend, a companion, a second self.

The tallest Trees are most in the Power of the Winds, and Ambitious Men of the Blasts of Fortune.
