From the section on testimonies, or the set of attitudes expressed in the lifestyles of a lot of Religious Society of Friends members.
Simplicity
Simplicity is the right ordering of our lives, placing God at the center. When we shed possessions, activities, and behavior that distract us from that center, we can focus on what is important. Simplicity does not mean denying life's pleasures, but being open to the promptings of the Spirit. We Friends seek to take no more than our share and to be sensitive to the needs of others, especially future generations...
I am not an official Friend but value many of their beliefs and practices.
