Justice is the insurance which we have on our lives and property. Obedience is the premium which we pay for it. ~ William Penn Quote
Kings in this world should imitate God, their mercy should be above their works. ~ William Penn Quote Only trust thyself, and another shall not betray thee. (we don't really agree with this quote.) ~ William Penn Quote Love is the hardest lesson in Christianity; but, for that reason, it should be most our care to learn it. ~ William Penn Quote Right is right, even if everyone is against it; and wrong is wrong, even if everyone is for it. ~ William Penn Quote It would be far better to be of no church than to be bitter of any. ~ William Penn Quote Knowledge is the treasure of a wise man. ~ William Penn Quote A true friend freely, advises justly, assists readily, adventures boldly, takes all patiently, defends courageously, and continues a friend unchangeably. ~ William Penn Quote 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. ~ William Penn Quote Love grows. Lust wastes by Enjoyment, and the Reason is, that one springs from an Union of Souls, and the other from an Union of Sense. ~ William Penn Quote Let the people think they govern and they will be governed. ~ William Penn Quote Less judgment than wit is more sail than ballast. ~ William Penn Quote If thou wouldn't conquer thy weakness thou must not gratify it. ~ William Penn Quote Humility and knowledge in poor clothes excel pride and ignorance in costly attire. ~ William Penn Quote 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. ~ William Penn Quote He that lives to live forever, never fears dying. ~ William Penn Quote He that does good for good's sake seeks neither paradise nor reward, but he is sure of both in the end. ~ William Penn Quote Force may subdue, but love gains, and he that forgives first wins the laurel. ~ William Penn Quote Between a man and his wife nothing ought to rule but love. Authority is for children and servants, yet not without sweetness. ~ William Penn Quote A true friend freely, advises justly, assists readily, adventures boldly, takes all patiently, defends courageously, and continues a friend unchangeably. ~ William Penn Quote Avoid popularity; it has many snares, and no real benefit. ~ William Penn Quote Those people who will not be governed by God will be ruled by tyrants. ~ William Penn Quote A good End cannot sanctify evil Means; nor must we ever do Evil, that Good may come of it. ~ William Penn Quote To be like Christ is to be a Christian. ~ William Penn Quote For death is no more than a turning of us over from time to eternity. ~ William Penn Quote Force may make hypocrites, but it can never make converts. ~ William Penn Quote He that lives to forever, never fears dying. ~ William Penn Quote I expect to pass through life but once. If therefore, there be any kindness I can show, or any good thing I can do to any fellow being, let me do it now, and not defer or neglect it, as I shall not pass this way again. ~ William Penn Quote It would be far better to be of no church than to be bitter of any. ~ William Penn Quote Kings in this should imitate God, their mercy should be above their works. ~ William Penn Quote Much reading is an oppression of the mind, and extinguishes the natural candle, which is the reason of so many senseless scholars in the world. ~ William Penn Quote Some are so very studious of learning what was done by the ancients that they know not how to live with the moderns. ~ William Penn Quote Nothing does reason more right, than the coolness of those that offer it: For Truth often suffers more by the heat of its defenders, than from the arguments of its opposers. ~ William Penn Quote O Lord, help me not to despise or oppose what I do not understand. ~ William Penn Quote Passion is a sort of fever in the mind, which ever leaves us weaker than it found us. ~ William Penn Quote Passion is the mob of the man, that commits a riot upon his reason. ~ William Penn Quote Patience and Diligence, like faith, remove mountains ~ William Penn Quote Rebellion to tyrants is obedience to God. ~ William Penn Quote Right is right, even if everyone is against it, and wrong is wrong, even if everyone is for it. ~ William Penn Quote Sense shines with a double luster when it is set in humility. An able yet humble man is a jewel worth a kingdom. ~ William Penn Quote Speak properly, and in as few words as you can, but always plainly; for the end of speech is not ostentation, but to be understood. ~ William Penn Quote The jealous are troublesome to others, but a torment to themselves. ~ William Penn Quote 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 Quote The adventure of the Christian life begins when we dare to do what we would never tackle without Christ. ~ William Penn Quote If we better studied and understood God's creation, this would do a great deal to caution and direct us in our use of it. For how could we find the impudence to abuse the world if we were seeing the great Creator stare us in the face through each and every part of it? ~ William Penn Quote We are inclined to call things by the wrong names. We call prosperity 'happiness', and adversity 'misery' eventhough adversity is the school of wisdom and often the way to eternal happiness. ~ William Penn Quote 
How can we know anything about anything? That’s the real question |
