Striving for greatness is at the heart of a virtue called "magnanimity," which means "greatness of soul." This is the virtue by which man pursues what is great and honorable in his life, even if it is difficult. St. [[Thomas Aquinas]] describes it as a "stretching forth of the mind to great things."1 The magnanimous person seeks to do great acts, "things as are deserving of honor."2
