William Penn

Let the people think they govern and they will be governed

Let us see what love can do.

Let us try what love will do.

Only trust theyself, and another shall noet betray thee

Men are generally more careful of the breed of their horses and dogs than of their children.

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.

Death is but crossing the world, as friends do the seas; they live in one another still.

A good end cannot sanctify evil means; nor must we ever do evil that good may come of it.

Avoid popularity it has many snares and no real benefit.

I know no religion that destroys courtesy, civility, and kindness.

True silence is the rest of the mind; it is to the spirit what sleep is to the body, nourishment and refreshment.

Those people who will not be governed by God will be ruled by tyrants.

I expect to pass through life but once. If therefore there be any kindness I can show...let me do it now.

In all debates, let truth be thy aim, not victory, or an unjust interest.

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

Time is what we want most,but what we use worst.
