William Penn was a prominent figure in the history of the United States, known primarily for his role as the founder and proprietor of the Province of Pennsylvania. However, he was also a prolific writer and philosopher, and his work "More Fruits of Solitude" is a testament to his thoughts on solitude and its role in the life of an individual.
In "More Fruits of Solitude," Penn writes about the importance of solitude in cultivating a peaceful and fulfilling life. He argues that solitude allows an individual to escape the distractions and noise of the outside world, and to focus on their own thoughts and feelings. This, in turn, can lead to a deeper understanding of oneself and the world around us.
Penn also writes about the benefits of solitude in terms of personal growth and self-improvement. He suggests that solitude can provide a space for reflection and introspection, which can help an individual to better understand their own strengths and weaknesses, and to identify areas of their life that may need improvement. Additionally, solitude can provide a sense of clarity and perspective, allowing an individual to make more informed and thoughtful decisions.
However, Penn also cautions against the dangers of excessive solitude. He writes that while solitude can be beneficial in moderation, too much of it can lead to isolation and loneliness. He advises that individuals should find a balance between solitude and social interaction, and to seek out supportive relationships with others.
In conclusion, William Penn's "More Fruits of Solitude" is a thought-provoking exploration of the role of solitude in the life of an individual. Penn advocates for the benefits of solitude in terms of personal growth and self-improvement, but also acknowledges the importance of finding a balance between solitude and social interaction. His work serves as a reminder of the importance of taking time for oneself, and the value of solitude in cultivating a peaceful and fulfilling life.
Quote by William Penn: “They that love beyond the world cannot be separ...”
The world is certainly a great and stately volume of natural things; and can be properly styled the hieroglyphics of a better world. Don't chase lost money, which was poorly invested, with good money. It is the compensation of a short and troublesome life; that doing well, and suffering ill, entitles man to a future life that is longer and better. Be not be deceived at the first appearances of things, but give yourself time for consideration to be in the right. If ministers are weak or ill men, and so spoil their positions, it is the prince's fault that chose them.
If a child, he ought to request, and not to command; and if a servant, to comply where he does not obey. Neither make nor go to feasts, but let the laboring poor bless you at home in their solitary cottages. Their subsistence is not during pleasure; nor have they admirers to please or present. To refuse or to respond promptly is the duty and wisdom of a good officer. But a naturalist and craftsman before described is master of the reason of both, and might be of the practice too, if his industry kept pace with his understanding; which is commendable; and without which he cannot be said to be a complete naturalist or craftsman.

I have now had some time that I can call my own; a property I was never so much master of before, in which I have taken a view of myself and the world; and observed how I have hit and missed the mark; what might have been done, what mended, and what avoided in this human conduct; together with the omissions and excesses of others, as well societies and governments, as private families, and persons. Those who have one end, can hardly disagree when they meet. Our delicacy has now become such, that we will not eat ordinary meat, nor drink weak liquor; we must have the best, and the best cooked for our bodies, while our souls feed on empty or corrupted things. Obedience to parents is not only our duty, but our interest. Labor is wholesome for your body, and good for your mind. It is all too frequent for man to begin with God and end in the world.

For without faith we cannot please God, nor can we fear what we do not believe. Rarely drink but when you are dry; nor then, between meals, if it can be avoided. Chose your clothes by yours own eyes, not another's. For they will take their religion upon trust, but not trust their church to use their money for purposes that are noble. It would be better to be of no Church, than to be bitter for any. He pretends to be thought poor, to escape robbery and taxes. But it is the worst of oppression to browbeat the humble and modest miserable, when they seek relief.

What you would do, if what you were to have it to do again, be sure to do as long as you live, in similar circumstances. The Proverb says: "That enough is as good as a feast;" but enough is certainly better, if extreme excess is a fault, which never fails to be at festivals. To be unnatural in defense of grace, is a contradiction. The more plain and simple they are, the better. The cost of the vain world's superfluous ornamentation would clothe all the naked of the world.

We are all sensible what a stately seat it is: The heavens adorned with so many glorious lights; and the earth with groves, plains, valleys, hills, fountains, ponds, lakes and rivers; and the variety of fruits, and creatures for food, pleasure and profit. It may not unfairly be termed, the mob of the man, that commits a riot upon his reason. A man like a watch, is to be valued for his performance. He was an early champion of democracy and a prominent Quaker. Wit is an happy and striking way of expressing a thought. Love grows, lust wastes by enjoyment; and the reason is, that one springs from a union of souls, and the other from an union of sense. Hasty resolutions are of the nature of vows, and they are to be equally avoided.
And until we are persuaded to stop, and step a little aside, out of the noisy crowd and encumbering hurry of the world, and calmly take a prospect of things, it is impossible to make a right judgment of ourselves or know our own misery. The very winner is made a loser, because he pays twice for his own; like those who purchase estates mortgaged beyond the full value. This ought to be the subject of the education of our youth, who, at twenty, when they should be fit for business, know little or nothing of it. The one is rude, the other scornful, and both evil. Admire that Power that made you so. Harry Potter - William Penn, More Fruits of Solitude 3. Passion is a sort of fever in the mind, which always leaves us weaker than it found us.
Fruits of Solitude, in Reflections & Maxims Relating to the Conduct . by PENN, WILLIAM
Magnify that goodness that did not make you a beast; and with the grace that is given to you, for it has appeared to all, learn to adorn your soul with enduring beauty. Among the rich, virtue is only a supplement, and not the principal or core of their character; and therefore we see so little wisdom or goodness among the rich, in proportion to their wealth. We cannot doubt this, when 3. Those who live their own lives, neither need, nor often prefer to wear the uniform of the public.

In short, man is spending all on an empty house, and has little or no furniture within to show for it; which is preferring the jewel box more than the jewel, a lease of seven years before a lifetime inheritance. Their productions, natures, seasons, sympathies and opposites; their use, benefit and pleasure, would be better understood by us. If he would become acquainted with his own soul, its noble faculties, its union with the body, its nature and end, and the providences by which the whole frame of humanity is preserved, he would admire and adore his good and great God.
