We meet on the broad pathway of good faith and good will no advantage shall be taken on either side, but all shall be openness and love. I will not call you children, -- for parents sometimes chide their children too severely nor brothers only, -- for brothers differ. The friendship between me and you I will not compare to a chain for that the rains might rust, or the falling tree might break. We are the same as if one man's body were to be divided into two parts, we are all one flesh and blood.
William Penn

William Penn
