Therefore the truly proud man must be good. And greatness in every virtue would seem to be characteristic of a proud man. The properly proud person is virtuous in every way. So magnanimity seems to be a sort of crown of the virtues, because it enhances them and is never found apart from them. It is chiefly with honours and dishonours, then, that the magnanimous man is concerned.
Magnanimity is the crown of all the virtues.
The magnanimous person is concerned especially with honours. For not even towards honour does he bear himself as if it were a very great thing. The magnanimous person seeks the proper balance for all the virtues . Men are honored for having power and wealth, or being born to it. But the goods of wealth and position mean nothing without virtue.
