“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
and a house full of modern gadgets.” Jesus said, “[Happy] are the meek; for they shall
inherit the earth” [see Matthew 5:5]. If we want the secret of happiness . . ."meekness” is a basic key.”

“The world doesn’t really have much respect for Christians who adopt its fashions and ideas. It is inclined to regard them with contempt—to write them off either as cowards who are ashamed of their faith or as frauds whose profession is not sincere.”
