"The spirit of [William] Penn will not be stayed. You cannot set limits to such
knightly
adventurers. After their own day is gone their spirits stalk the world, carrying inspiration everywhere that they go and reminding men of the lineage, the fine lineage, of those who have sought justice and right."
-Woodrow Wilson
