Quaker Quotes

In a speech at the end of the United Nations Decade of Women, in 1985, Alice Wiser said, "Each of us is responsible for our own actions and our own reactions. We are not responsible for someone else's actions and reactions. This is very important for women especially because most women have been taught that they are responsible for the happiness of everyone in their family. They are taught that all family unhappiness and discord is their fault. But responsibility rests within each individual."
