Blessed are the meek, for they are barricaded from the shots of the devil’s artillery and the persecutions of this world by sacks of wool. They are like glass vessels packed in hay or straw to preserve them from jarring. Meekness is the strong shield by which the arrows of wrath are broken or turned aside. The meek are clothed in very soft cotton which defends them perfectly without offense to anyone.
–Francisco de Osuna (1497-1541)
