Magnanimity
1 Corinthians 4:3-5
But with me it is a very small thing that I should be judged of you, or of man's judgment: yes, I judge not my own self.…


Some person reported to the amiable poet, Tasso, that a malicious enemy spoke ill of him to all the world. "Let him persevere," said Tasso; "his rancour gives me no pain. How much better it is that he should speak ill of me to all the world than that all the world should speak ill of me to him!"

(C. H. Spurgeon.)
