English term or phrase: strength in harness
Meekness: ***Strength in Harness***

Meekness, sometimes used interchangeably with "gentleness" in biblical translations, comes from a Greek word meaning "not easily provoked," which in turn comes from the word for a highly spirited trained horse. Such a horse has become so gentle and mild that a child may pet it or ride on its back. But the important thing is that the horse no longer thrashes about wildly, but rather has been trained to take direction. The strength of the noble animal has been harnessed for good—not forfeited, not dissipated. Similarly, a harnessed or "meeked" river can generate power, and a harnessed or meeked fire can heat a campsite. Meekness—like chastity—has always implied ***harnessed strength***, not weakness.
