William Penn Is Quotations

Love is the hardest lesson in Christianity; but, for that reason, it should be most our care to learn it.

Between a Man and his Wife nothing ought to rule but Love. Believe nothing against another but on good authority; and never report what may hurt another, unless it be a greater hurt to some other to conceal it.

Did we believe a final Reckoning and Judgment; or did we think enough of what we do believe, we would allow more Love in Religion than we do; since Religion it self is nothing else but Love to God and Man. Love is indeed Heaven upon Earth; since Heaven above would not be Heaven without it: For where there is not Love; there is Fear: But perfect Love casts out Fear. Love is above all; and when it prevails in us all, we shall all be Lovely, and in Love with God and one with another.

The truest end of life is to know the life that never ends.

Love is indeed heaven upon earth; since heaven above would not bo heaven without it; for where there is not love, there is fear; but, "Perfect love casteth out fear."

A private Life is to be preferrd; the Honour and Gain of publick Posts, bearing no proportion with the Comfort of it.

Inquire often, but judge rarely, and thou wilt not often be mistaken.

Silence is Wisdom where Speaking is Folly.

Never marry but for love; but see that thou lov'st what is lovely.
