I am starting a new special feature here on my blog where I can make one statement fun comments that may or may not be cool and quite possibly will be a way to just muse in brief, get some mild complaining off my chest or maybe some kind of awesome praise........just sayin'!

Why MAGNANIMUS?
Noah Webster's 1828 Dictionary of the American Language defines Magnanimity as such:
MAGNANIM'ITY, n. [L. magnanimitas; magnus, great, and animus, mind.] Greatness of mind; that elevation or dignity of soul, which encounters danger and trouble with tranquillity and firmness, which raises the possessor above revenge, and makes him delight in acts of benevolence, which makes him disdain injustice and meanness, and prompts him to sacrifice personal ease, interest and safety for the accomplishment of useful and noble objects.
