“We say, “Happy are the clever, for they shall inherit the admiration of their friends”; “Happy are the aggressive, for they shall inherit a career”; “Happy are the rich, for they shall inherit a world of friends

inherit the earth” [see Matthew 5:5]. If we want the secret of happiness . . ."meekness” is a basic key.”
