Of Clemency and Meekness (Four Articles)
Summa Theologica — Saint Thomas Aquinas
We must next consider clemency and meekness, and the contrary vices. Concerning the virtues themselves there are four points of inquiry:

(2) Whether each of them is a virtue?

(3) Whether each is a part of temperance?

(4) Of their comparison with the other virtues.
