According to Witherspoon, magnanimity entails five commitments: (1) attempting great and difficult things, (2) aspiring after great and valuable possessions, (3) facing dangers with resolution, (4) struggling against difficulties with perseverance, and (5) bearing sufferings with fortitude and patience. In short, the magnanimous Christian is eager to attempt great things and willing to endure great hardships.<ref>[https://clearlyreformed.org/the-manly-virtue-of-magnanimity/ ''The Manly Virtue of Magnanimity'']</ref>}}

== Virtue ethics ==
Virtue [[ethics]] is a [[Philosophy|philosophical]] approach to morality that emphasizes the development of good character traits (virtues) as the key to ethical behavior. Specifically it focuses on who a person is relative to their character rather than specific rules or consequences of actions. Proponents of virtue ethics often maintain a morally good life is achieved by cultivating virtues like [[honest]]y, [[kindness]], [[courage]], [[generosity]], and [[justice]] through [[Deliberate practice|practice]] and [[habit]] formation. Virtue ethics is often associated with the teachings of the Greek philosopher [[Aristotle]].
