Quote of the Day
“I
am thus far a Quaker, that I would gladly agree with all the world to
lay aside the use of arms, and settle matters by negotiation; but unless
the whole will, the matter ends, and I take up my musket and thank
heaven He has put it in my power.”
~ Thomas Paine

Thanks, everyone. I think the best Quaker quote I've ever heard was from decades ago, in the Reader's Digest. A Quaker lady was T-boned by a driver who ran a red light. She was quite angry, although unhurt, and said to him, "When thee gets back to thy kennel, I hope thy mother bites thee!"
Think about it. :)
