William Penn "Some Fruits of Solitude in Reflections and Maxims"

William Penn, the founder of Pennsylvania, is among our favorite thinkers. He held people in high regard, in terms of wisdom and civility, and expected everyone to pass that hurdle. Expect more of yourself and of the people around you. It is with this intention we re-introduce to readers at Sonshi.com his writings. The consummate leader and strategist should be good with both the sword and Penn.

"I find all sorts of People agree, whatsoever were their Animosities, when humbled by the Approaches of Death: Then they forgive, then they pray for, and love one another: Which shews us, that it is not our Reason, but our Passion, that makes and holds up the Feuds that reign among men in their Health and Fulness. They, therefore, that live nearest to that which they should die, must certainly live best." William Penn.
