When the grace of meekness gains dominion in the soul, it alters its temperament and submits it to authority. Then the wolf dwells with the lamb, and the leopard lies down with the kid, and a little child may lead them; for enmities are laid aside, and there is nothing to hurt or destroy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eQuietness\u003c\/em\u003e is the evenness, the composure, and the rest of the soul, and it sets forth both the nature and the excellency of the grace of meekness.

In the midst of all the insults and injustices that are, or may be, offered to us, we must keep our spirits composed and undisturbed, demonstrating by a calm, even, and steady conduct that they are so.
