                                 William Penn’s Fruits of Solitude

  -  A good End cannot sanctify evil Means; nor must we ever do Evil, that Good may come of it.   

  -  If thou wouldn’t conquer thy weakness , thou must not gratify it.        

  -  Passion  is a sort of fever in the mind, which ever leaves us weaker than it found us.     

  -  Right  is right, even if everyone is against it, and wrong is wrong, even if everyone is for it.     

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

  -  Sense shines with a double luster when it is set in humility. An able yet humble man is a jewel worth a kingdom.       

  -    To have striven, to have made the effort, to have been true to certain ideals – this alone is worth the struggle.”
