Of all virtues, magnanimity is the rarest. There are a hundred persons of merit for one who willingly acknowledges it in another. - William Hazlitt (1) A great mind will neither give an affront nor bear it. - Henry Home, Lord Kames Magnanimity is sufficiently defined by its name, nevertheless one can say it is the good sense of pride, the most noble way of receiving praise. - Francois Duc de la Rochefoucauld A brave man thinks no one his superior who does him an injury; for he has it then in his power to make himself superior to the other by forgiving it. - Alexander Pope Magnanimity is above circumstance; and any virtue which depends on that is more of constitution than of principle. - Jane Porter 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 neither to be rash nor timorous. - Francis Quarles It would be judicious to act with magnanimity towards a prostrate foe. - Zachary Taylor
