Meekness

Don't get angry when your pride is attacked, get angry when a principle is at stake.

Never fight when you get attacked, but fight when truth is at stake.

Jesus didn't take anything personally, not even on the cross.

Meekness is not to lose your coolheadness. It's to stay calm in the face of adversity. During the passion, everyone was amok, except our lord. He was the only meek one. To have "ice in my veins", the coolness, the steadiness.
