Meekness is an attribute of human nature and behavior that has been defined as an amalgam of righteousness, inner humility, and patience.

Meekness has been contrasted with humility alone insomuch as humility simply refers to an attitude towards oneself—a restraining of one's own power so as to allow room for others—whereas meekness refers to the treatment of others.
