Aphorism #128 Highmindedness.

One of the principal qualifications for a gentleman, for it spurs on to all kinds of nobility. It improves the taste, ennobles the heart, elevates the mind, refines the feelings, and intensifies dignity. It raises him in whomit is found, and at times remedies the bad turns of Fortune, which only raises by striking. It can find full scope in the will when it cannot be exercised in act. Magnanimity, generosity, and all heroic qualities recognise in it their source. http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ArtO...?d=yIl2AUoC8zA http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ArtO...?d=qj6IDK7rITs
