DISINTERESTEDNESS [ Also see Benevolence Generosity Interest Justice Magnanimity Neutrality Philanthropy Toleration ] How difficult it is to get men to believe that any other man can or does act from disinterestedness!       - Benjamin Robert Haydon The slightest emotion of disinterested kindness that passes through the mind, improves and refreshes that mind, producing generous thought and noble feeling. We should cherish kind wishes, for a time may come when we may be enabled to put them in practice.       - Nancy Mitford (1) Men of the world hold that it is impossible to do a disinterested action, except from an interested motive; for the sake of admiration, if for no grosser, more tangible gain. Doubtless they are also convinced that, when the sun is showering light from the sky, he is only standing there to be stared at.       - Unknown Last Revised: 2008 April 9 Copyright © 1999-2008 John C.
