I’m experimenting with Quaker Quote of the Day for the QuakerQuaker Twitter account. You should be able to read them on Twitter here. Extended versions will be on QuakerQuaker’s new QOTD blog.It’s hard to pack a good quote into only 140 characters so there will be some shortening, but the full piece should give it a bit more context.
I’ll be mostly quoting historical Friends but I might throw a living person in there once in awhile. I won’t use a quote book to deliver the same adage you’ve heard a million times before. I’ll also try not to chop it up into a meaning that goes against the author’s intention.
I think the QOTD is a great idea, especially drawing on less familiar writings. I’m responsible for generating a “quote and query” for the meeting’s monthly newsletter, and I don’t always take the time I should to seek out source material, “lesser” Quakers, etc. This QQ feature will help me in that particular task.

Great Liz, well definitely feel free to re-use any that jump out at you. We
should probably start a suggestion line somewhere for future ones too.
