“He is not prone to remember evils, since it is proper to a magnanimous person not to nurse memories, especially not of evils, but to overlook them.

They do this because they are imitating the magnanimous person though they are not really like him.” LoveLifePhilosophyWisdomTruthDeathHateAristotleEthics And Moral PhilosophyMegalopsychos Author:Aristotle on the Megalopsychos
