 The Fruit of the Spirit: Meekness
Meekness is so important that it is the third characteristic Jesus mentions in His foundational teaching, the Sermon on the Mount: "Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth" (Matthew 5:5).
In other words, meekness is the active fruit of the other two, but whereas being poor in spirit and mourning are both internal in operation, meekness is both internal and external in its execution in one's life.
Meekness can be accompanied by a war to the death against evil, but the meek Christian directs this warfare first against the evil in his own heart.

  A Discourse On Meekness and Quietness of Spirit by Rev. Matthew Henry
Meekness is a grace that cleaves the stock, and holds it open, that the word, as a shoot, may be grafted in; it breaks up the fallow ground, and makes it fit to receive the seed; captivates the high thoughts, and lays the soul like white paper under God's pen.
Meekness, in the school of the philosophers, is a virtue consisting in a mean between the extremes of rash excessive anger on the one hand, and a defect of anger on the other; a mean which Aristotle confesses it very hard exactly to gain.
Meekness is commonly despised by the grandees of the age as cowardice and meanness, and the evidence of a little soul, and is posted accordingly; while the most furious and angry revenge is celebrated and applauded under the pompous names of valor, honor, and greatness of spirit.

 Meekness & Truth Ministries
At Meekness and Truthâ„¢, we believe that there is a great need to teach people how to do better pre-evangelism with not-yet Christians by applying the principles of "Conversational Evangelism" so that we may create an openness among them to consider the person of Christ in fulfillment of the Great Commission (Matthew 28:18-20).
We believe that if Christians in general have easier access to materials that would be helpful in pre-evangelism, more people would be motivated to share their faith on a regular basis, since they have a evangelism paradigm that could open the doors to fruitful discussions about Christ, even among their postmodern friends.
Meekness and Truth has as one of its next goal to distribute over 100,000 of our pre-evangelism resources to evangelical churches around the U.S. We desire is to see lay people better equipped in pre-evangelism to reach others influenced by postmodern and pluralistic thinking.

 Meekness and Humility according to the Bible
Meekness is the opposite of self-will, self-interest, self-assertiveness.
Meekness does not mean we do not show others they are wrong.
While meekness toward God is the most fundamental and basic sense in which we must be meek and humble, yet as it is with love, so it is with meekness: if we are truly meek toward God, this will lead us to be meek and humble toward other people.
