High-minded Character

The source of generosity, heroic inspiration, and genuine virtue; a high-minded inner character elevates the mind, improves taste, ennobles the heart, and inspires courageous attainments. When the bitterness of fate brings defeat and failure, this spirit evades discouragement and holds onto an undiminished confidence. Envied even by bad luck, it brings dignity and resolve to breakdowns, embarrassments, and setbacks.
