meekness

Uncommon success is found on the spiritual plane; you can't get there through common convention or following others. Hard work is not enough; many work slavishly-hard for little reward. Intelligence is insufficient; how many educated and brilliant people there are who fail utterly and completely. Goodness is not enough; how many meek and good souls are tilled into the earth like manure by demigods to fertilize their golden crops. There is something more _ it is the unseen essential, and everyone has access to it.

Make no mistake about it, no matter how kind, meek, humble and soft your giving heart is _ you are a warrior!

He is as full of valor as of kindness. Princely in both.

O Holy Spirit, give me a simple heart which will not retire within itself to savor its own sorrows, a heart magnanimous in giving itself, easily moved to compassion, a faithful, generous heart, which does not forget any favor received nor hold resentment for any injuries done to it.

Humble yourself before the Lord and he will lift you high. People who are gentle, humble and able always have a great ending no matter how small and where obscured they have started!

Choose to be at peace with yourself and you will never have any battle to lose. Find yourself every reason and season to share your peace with others!

Your own humility endorses your integrity!

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.

Any man who behaves arrogantly with what little he knows, or claims to know all, only reveals to all that he really knows nothing. Real greatness does not reside inside those who feel large. The truly wise are meek.

Jehovah chose to do great things through me. I lay my life in total humility never to take the Glory that comes from doing His great work_ It all belongs to Him

Without opposition, there could be no creation. All life would cease without resistance. Emotions also have their polar opposites: attraction _ repulsion, love _ hate, aggression _ meekness, and mercy _ callousness.

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

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.

My father believes with his entire soul that the meek shall inherit the earth. My children will inherit the earth but they will not be meek.

One can never consent to creep when one feels an impulse to soar.

Life occasionally humbles us by making us turned on by someone whom we turn off.

The greatness of the man's power is the measure of his surrender.
