Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the earth. Matthew 5:5
“The meek are those who are gentle, humble and unassuming, simple in faith and patient in the face of every affront. Imbued with the precepts of the gospel, they imitate the meekness of the Lord, who says, “Learn from me for I am meek and humble in heart.” Moses found the greatest favor with God because he was meek. It was written about him: “And Moses was the meekest of all people on earth” (Numbers 12:3). Furthermore, we read in David’s psalm: “Be mindful, O Lord, of David and his great meekness” (Psalm 132:1).
