Lives of Virtue
Strive confidently for great and noble goods.
Magnanimity, or “greatness of soul,” is the moral virtue that inclines one to perform great acts that are worthy of true honor. The habit of magnanimity enables us to undertake difficult and noble tasks without striving after great deeds that are unfitting or unattainable. Magnanimity is often called the “crown of the virtues” because acts deserving of true honor can only follow from significant prior moral development.
