The tallest Trees are most in the Power of the Winds, and Ambitious Men of the Blasts of Fortune.
William PennFor nothing reaches the heart but what is from the heart, or pierces the conscience but what comes from a living conscience
William PennAll excess is ill, but drunkenness is of the worst sort. It spoils health, dismounts the mind, and unmans men. It reveals secrets, is quarrelsome, lascivious, impudent, dangerous and mad. In fine, he that is drunk is not a man: because he is so long void of Reason, that distinguishes a Man from a Beast.
