Greatness of spirit is accompanied by simplicity and sincerity.

Greatness of spirit is accompanied by simplicity and sincerity.

Aristotle
Greatness, Simplicity, Spirit
Aristotle (2013). “Delphi Complete Works of Aristotle (Illustrated)”, p.2945, Delphi Classics

And inasmuch as the great-souled man deserves most, he must be the best of men; for the better a man is the more he deserves, and he that is best deserves most. Therefore the truly great-souled man must be a good man. Indeed greatness in each of the virtues would seem to go with greatness of soul.

Aristotle
Greatness, Men, Soul
Aristotle (2017). “Eleven Common Characteristics of Great Souls”, p.4, Philaletheians UK

Greatness of Soul seems therefore to be as it were a crowning ornament of the virtues; it enhances their greatness, and it cannot exist without them. Hence it is hard to be truly great-souled, for greatness of soul is impossible without moral nobility.

Aristotle
Greatness, Soul, Ornaments
Aristotle (1934). “The Nicomachean ethics”

Greatness of spirit is to bear finely both good fourtune and bad, honor and disgrace, and not to think highly of luxury or attention or power or victories in contests, and to possess a certain depth and magnitude of spirit.

Aristotle
Greatness, Thinking, Luxury
Aristotle (2013). “Delphi Complete Works of Aristotle (Illustrated)”, p.2945, Delphi Classics
