John Milton writes in Paradise Lost:
Henceforth I learn, that to obey is best,
And love with fear the only God; to walk
As in his presence; ever to observe
His providence; and on him sole depend,
Merciful over all his works, with good
Still overcoming evil, and by small
Accomplishing great things, by things deemed weak
Subverting worldly strong, and worldly wise
By simply meek: that suffering for truth’s sake
Is fortitude to highest victory,
And, to the faithful, death the gate of life;
Taught this by his example, whom I now
Acknowledge my Redeemer ever blest.
The greatest fortitude is often found in the meekest people; the highest victory in the small and lowly. Don’t confuse fortitude with power. People, deemed weak and insignificant by the world but who quietly suffer for the truth’s sake, are the ones who have genuine fortitude.
Have a wonderful day.
