“A weak man can never be meek, because he is never self-possessed; meekness is that virtue which controls the combative, violent and pugnacious powers of our nature, and is therefore the best and noblest road to self-realization.  The meek man is not a man who refuses to fight, nor is he a man who will never become angry.  A meek man is a man who will never do one thing: he will never fight when his conceit is attacked, but only when a principle is at stake.  And there is the keynote to the difference of the anger of the Communist and the anger of the meek man. “ Archbishop Fulton Sheen (The Cross and the Beatitudes)
