More Quotes by William Penn
Truth never lost ground by enquiry.
Governments, like clocks, go from the motion men give them, and as governments are made and moved by men, so by them they are ruined too.

But if men be bad, let the government be never so good, they will endeavour to warp and spoil it to their turn.

Patience and Diligence, like faith, remove mountains.

No man is fit to command another that cannot command himself.
Right is right, even if everyone is against it, and wrong is wrong, even if everyone is for it.
Never despise what you don't understand.
