"Be still and cool in your own mind and spirit from your own thoughts, and then you will feel the principle of God to turn your mind to the Lord God from whom life comes; whereby you may receive his strength and power to allay all blusterings, storms, and tempests."
George Fox, 17th century
Founder of the Friends (Quakers)
"There is a principle which is pure - placed in the human mind, which
in different places and ages hath had different names. It is, however,
pure, and proceeds from God. It is deep and inward, confined to no forms
of religion, nor excluded from any, when the heart stands in perfect
sincerity. In whomsoever this takes root and grows, they become
brethren."
John Woolman, 18th century
Quaker writer
"Words may help and silence may help, but the one thing needful is that the heart should turn to its Maker as the needle turns to the pole. For this we must be still."
Caroline Stephen, 19th century
