The gentle has no violence nor wrath in his temper.

He is calm and is not agitated or stirred. He does not get angry at all, nor is he ever aroused or overcome by nervousness. His nerves are always calm, and his features are always good natured and cheerful. He avenges not himself, nor solves his problems with violence. If anyone offends him, he faces it with longsuffering and patience.

—H.H. Pope Shenouda III, Fruits of the Spirit
