MAGNANIMITY
-
A brave man knows no malice; but forgets, in peace, the injuries of war, and gives his direst foe a friend's embrace.—COWPER
-
Of all virtues magnanimity is the rarest; there are a hundred persons of merit for one who willingly acknowledges it in another.—HAZLITT
-
Magnanimity is sufficiently defined by its name; yet we may say of it, that it is the good sense of pride, and the noblest way of acquiring applause.—LA ROCHEFOUCAULD, Maxims
-
If you desire to be magnanimous, undertake nothing rashly, and fear nothing thou undertakest. Fear nothing but infamy; dare anything but injury; the measure of magnanimity is to be neither rash nor timorous.—FRANCIS QUARLES
