Walk Cheerfully, Friends

An excerpt from the text states: ‘Our heritage does contain this cheerful, delightful aspect. Otherwise, our emphasis upon plainness and simplicity might be a little heavy. When separated into its component parts, Quaker gray is found to be composed of colors which are extremely rich and cheerful. One might even suggest the blue of the sky and the sea, the green of the hills, the yellow of daffodils, the red and gold which lights up the sky at sunset. When one looks deeply into the lives of plain people, a rich blend of love and joy and laughter becomes evident. Simplicity can be beautiful–in life as well as the visual arts.’
