Humble Mildness...

“Humble mildness is the virtue of virtues which Our Lord has recommended to us, and therefore we ought to practice it everywhere and always.  Evil is to be shunned, but peaceably.  Good is to be done but with suavity. Take this for your rule:  Do what you see can be done with charity, and what cannot be done without disturbance, leave undone.  In short, peace and tranquility of heart ought to be uppermost in all our actions, as olive oil floats above all liquors.”
