If thou thinkest twice before thou speakest once,
thou wilt speak twice the better for it.
--William Penn
Friendship is the union of spirits, a marriage of hearts,
and the bond thereof virtue
--William Penn Fruits of Solitude
The friendship between me and you I will not compare to a chain;
for that rains might rust, or the falling tree might break.
--William Penn Treaty with the Indians
I expect to pass through this world but once.
Any good therefore that I can do, or any kindness or abilities
that I can show to any fellow creature, let me do it now.
Let me not defer it or neglect it, for I shall not pass this way again.
--William Penn
For death is no more than a turning of us over from time to eternity.
--William Penn
Right is right, even if everyone is against it;
and wrong is wrong, even if everyone is for it
--William Penn
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
There can be no friendship when there is no freedom;
Friendship loves the free air, and will not be fenced
up in straight and narrow enclosures.
--William Penn
