More Quotes by William Penn
If you protect a man from folly, you will soon have a nation of fools.
The Remedy often proves worse than the Disease.
Never despise what you don't understand.
Avoid flatterers, for they are thieves in disguise.
In all debates, let truth be thy aim, not victory, or an unjust interest.
Silence is Wisdom where Speaking is Folly.
I shall pass through life but once. Let me show kindness now, as I shall not pass this way again.
Men must be governed by God or they will be ruled by tyrants.
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. Wherefore governments rather depend upon men, than men upon governments. Let men be good, and the government cannot be bad; if it be ill, they will cure it. But if men be bad, let the government be never so good, they will endeavour to warp and spoil it to their turn.
They that love beyond the world cannot be separated by it. Death cannot kill what never dies.
