Matthew Henry

“Meekness is a victory over ourselves and the rebellious lusts in our own bosoms; it is the quieting of internal conflicts, the stilling of an insurrection at home, which is often harder than to resist a foreign invasion.”

“Meekness teaches us prudently to govern our own anger whenever anything occurs that is provoking.”

“The robes of glory will be the everlasting ornaments of meek and quiet spirits.”

“Anger in the soul is like mettle in a horse, good if it is well managed.”

“Solomon appeals to our consciences: "For many times also your own heart has known that even you have cursed others." The penitent remembrance of former guilt would greatly help to curb the passionate resentment of present trouble.”

“The work of meekness is to calm the spirit, so as that the inward peace may not be disturbed by any outward provocation.”
