GREAT THOUGHTS ABOUT PEACE
_______

Peace is not a thing of weakness.  It calls for heroism and action.
Day by day you must wrest it from the mouths of liars. 
You must stand alone against the multitude; for clamour is always
on the side of the many, and the liar has ever the first word.
The meek must be strong.

Stefans Sweig.
 
 

 QUAKER PEACE TESTIMONY 1660

  “We utterly deny all outward wars and strife, and fightings with outward weapons, for any end, or under any pretence whatever; this is our testimony to the whole world.  The Spirit of Christ by which we are guided is not changeable, so as once to command us from a thing as evil, and again to move unto it; and we certainly know, and testify to the world, that the Spirit of Christ, which leads us into all truth, will never move us to fight and war against any man with outward weapons, neither for the Kingdom of Christ, nor for the Kingdoms of the world.”


 Written by George Fox. 

 From: “A declaration from the harmless and innocent people of God called Quakers, 
 to Charles II. 1660.”
