C.N. Douglas, comp. Forty Thousand Quotations: Prose and Poetical. 1917.

Meekness

O blessed well of love! O flower of grace.

Spenser.

He was oppressed, and He was afflicted, yet He opened not His mouth: He is brought as a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before her shearers is dumb, so He openeth not His mouth.

Bible.

Meekness is the grace which, from beneath God’s footstool, lifts up a candid and confiding eye, accepting God’s smile of Fatherly affection, and adoring those perfections which it cannot comprehend.

James Hamilton.

The flower of meekness on a stem of grace.

James Montgomery.
