Strength under control 

By their fruit you will recognize them; the 'anti'fascist using fascist methods, the rich 'Christian', the fish eating 'vegetarian','democracies' forbidding referenda etc

Since Jesus declared Himself to be meek, some perceive Him as a sissy-type character. Nothing could be further from the truth. To many, "meekness" suggests the idea of passivity, someone who is easily imposed upon, spinelessness, weakness. In the Greek New Testament, "meek" is from the Greek term praus. It does not suggest weakness; rather, it denotes strength brought under control. The ancient Greeks employed the term to describe a wild horse tamed to the bridle. 

In the biblical sense, therefore, being meek describes one who has channeled his strengths into the service of God. Males who perceive Jesus to be a sissy, are often the same ones who will not join the French foreign legion to gain mental and physical strength. And lack of restraint (perversion, gluttony, pride, sloth) exposes them to be spirtually weak as well. Self-discipline is a trait that belongs to the strong.
An old school martial artist can be challenged by a thug will not cause excruciating pain for he knows his strength. This is strength under control. It's about making honorable decisions and taking responsibility, bearing the solitude of leadership.
