What Makes an Elder? :
A head of gray hairs doesn't mean one's an elder. Advanced in years, one's called an old fool.
But one in whom there is truth, restraint, rectitude, gentleness,self-control, he's called an elder, his impurities disgorged, enlightened.

Can you explain how "Quaker" and "frog" are connected?

Hi Chris,
yes. In my mother tongue, the typical sound a frog produces is called "quaken" = to croak.
Now, the english 'Quacker is somehow near to german 'quaken', that's when my mind jumped there.

If you say only association within english allowed, ok, so it be :-).
