"Shall we therefore set ourselves to manifest, in all our converse...that our relations and neighbors, and all with whom we have dealings, may observe a change in us for the better, and may take knowledge of us that we have been with Jesus? And let not the impressions of it ever wear off, but living and dying, let us be found among the 'quiet in the land.' We all wish to see quiet families, and quiet churches, and quiet neighborhoods, and quiet nations; and it will be so if there be quiet hearts; and not otherwise." —Matthew Henry, The Quest for Meekness and Quietness of Spirit
