Lark-Catalpa-Royal8

"[This] is more than a forgiving temper; it includes also the ability to shrug off insults and the absence of a brooding hypersensitivity. It is the ability to deny to an adversary the yelp of pain even when the words have inflicted a wound, of making large allowances for human frailties and keeping the lines of communication open. It contains elements of toughness and self-discipline; it is the capacity to stifle a hot emotional rejoinder and to sleep on a insult." - Proverbs 19:11
