There is nothing lost by meekness and yielding. Abraham yields over his right of choice: Lot taketh it. And, behold, Lot is crossed in that which he chose: Abraham blessed, in that which was left him! As heaven is taken by violence, so is earth by meekness. And God, "the true proprietor," loves no tenants better, nor grants larger leases to any, than the meek.

(J. Trapp.)
