Excerpt from George Fox Interpreted: The Religion, Revelations, Motives and Mission of George Fox
To-day we are honoring Fox with our lips, while in modern parlance our hearts may be far away from doing him justice for qualities that are not meritorious now in religious circles, because they are not popular. The heretics of one century are the canonized saints of another. It should be the part of the living to be faithful, even to acts of unwelcome justice, and trust not in man for praise or approbation.
