"Because #courage ...strengthens a person against #evil, magnanimity strengthens a person to take on good tasks.That is why #trust pertains more properly to magnanimity than to courage...No evil person [can]be magnanimous." bit.ly/4qqZFGo

Winston Churchill once urged Roosevelt to officially refer to what we call World War Two as "The Unnecessary War". He described his historical account as "How the English-speaking peoples through their unwisdom, carelessness, and good nature, allowed the wicked to rearm."
