Meekness is vital to becoming more Christlike. Without it one cannot develop other important virtues. . . . Acquiring meekness is a process. . . More meekness does not translate to weakness, but 'it is the presentation of self in a posture of kindness and gentleness. It reflects certitude, strength, serenity; it reflects a healthy self-esteem and a genuine self-control' (Neal A. Maxwell, "Meekly Drenched in Destiny," in Brigham Young University 1982-83 Fireside and Devotional Speeches [1983], 2). More meekness will allow us to be tutored by the Spirit.
