Magnanimity (megalopsuchia) belongs only to men of high gifts, and is, as opposed to empty pretense, on the one hand, and to self-disparaging pusillanimousness, on the other, the proper respecting of self, the moral pride of the great man, — while the proper self-respect of the ordinary person is not magnanimity, but only modesty; the former virtue stands higher than the latter.
