About This Quote
The Amish are islands of sanity in a whirlpool of change. The Amish are peaceful, conservative people who have lived in the United States for hundreds of years. They have many rules and beliefs, which have helped them to remain in their homeland for so long. Some groups of people have chosen to stay away from technology for fear that it will destroy their society. They have stayed true to themselves, true to their faith, and true to their traditions because they are islands of sanity in a whirlpool of change.
