Non-Resistance and obeying evil government

"If we abide evil by our fundamental principle of not opposing evil by evil we cannot participate in sedition, treason, or violence. We shall submit to every ordinance and every requirement of government, except such as are contrary to the commands of the Gospel, and in no case resist the operation of the law, except by meekly submitting to the penalty of disobedience." - William Lloyd Garrison, Declaration of Sentiments Adopted By Peace Convention, found in Leo Tolstoy's "The Kingdom of God is Within You", pg. 6
