Quaker Quotes
Our principle is, and our practices have always been, to seek peace and ensue it, and to follow after righteousness and the knowledge of God, seeking the good and welfare and doing that which tends to the peace of all.
A Declaration from the Harmless and Innocent People of God, called Quakers, presented to Charles II 1660
...walk cheerfully over the world, answering that of God in everyone.
George Fox 1656
There is a principle which is pure, placed in the human mind, which in different places and ages hath different names; it is, however, pure, and proceeds from God
John Woolman 1762
Our faith challenges us as to whether we allow ourselves to become a divided people swept along by the stream of mistrust and fear, arrogance and hatred which produces tensions in the world; or whether by our own decision, confidence and courage, we can become a bridge linking those elements which promote truth, justice and peace.
Quakers in Germany, 1948
Our peace testimony... covers the whole range of human situations. I believe that the practice of peace making is, or should be, a universal human function. Springing from that of God within, it is our common task to work for harmony wherever we are, to strive to bring together whatever is sundered by fear, resentment injustice or any of those conditions or attitudes of mind that separate us.
Adam Curle 1981
