A fool mistakes meekness for weakness and a quiet tongue for an idle mind.

Meekness was once described as a very spirited and powerful horse under the influence of the bridle.

يقولون أن الوداعة قوة هائلة

Let the meek have the kingdom of heaven. The strong shall rule on earth.

The way of the world isn't the strong devouring the weak, but the weak deceiving and poisoning and whispering in the ears of the strong until they become weak, too.

Sir Thomas More was a victim of injustice and irony. Generously and meekly, just as he was about to be martyred, he said:

Paul . . . was present, and consented to the death of St. Stephen, and kept their clothes that stoned him to death, and yet be they [Stephen and Paul] now both twain Holy Saints in heaven, and shall continue there friends for ever, so I verily trust and . . . pray, that though your lordships have now here in earth been judges to my condemnation, we may yet hereafter in heaven merrily all meet together, to our everlasting salvation.
