In quietness and in confidence

In quietness and in confidence

In a balanced, pleasant, calculated manner and without risk.

("For thus said the Lord GOD, the Holy One of Israel: In returning and rest shall ye be saved; in quietness and in confidence shall be your strength; but ye would not" – Isaiah 30:15; and also: "And they began to weep, but Rabbi Akiva laughed. They said to him: Why do you laugh? He said to them: And why do you weep? They said to him: These Cushites, who bow to idols and burn incense to foreign gods, sit in security and quiet, while the house which is the footstool of our God is burned with fire, and should we not weep?" – Makkot 24a)
