Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the
world; indeed, it's the only thing that ever has. -- Margaret Meade-

We utterly deny all outward wars and strife and fighting with outward weapons for any end or under any pretence whatsoever; 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 of evil and again to move us into 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 this world ... therefore we cannot learn war anymore.
--Excerpts from a Statement by the Quakers to King Charles II - 1660
