Christian meekness is not put down among the world’s beatitudes. It requires a great deal more strength and heroism to be forgiving, to stand patient under insult, than it does to get angry and strike. Hence the manliest man is no he who flies into a temper, who resents every injury, demanding satisfaction, but the man who receives the wrong and stands silent under the insult, leaving in God’s hands the righting of his wrongs. A Spanish writer says: “To return evil for good is devilish; to return good for good is human; but to return good for evil is Godlike.”
