Magnanimity (mag-nuh-NIM-ih-tee) -- from the Latin for "great" + "soul" -- is the quality of being courageously noble in mind and spirit; generous, forgiving, and unselfish.
Example : "To be a philosopher is not merely to have subtle thoughts... but so to love wisdom as to live according to its dictates, a life of simplicity, independence, magnanimity, and trust."
