Magnamimous Charisma

I'm contemplating 2 mellifluous words this morning: charisma and magnanimous!

Charisma is a noun meaning 1. an extraordinary power (such as healing) given to a Christian by the Holy Spirit; 2A. a personal magic of leadership, arousing extreme loyalty; 2B. a special magnetic charm or appeal. It comes from the ancient Greek word for rejoice.

Magnamimous is an adjective meaning 1. showing a lofty or courageous spirit; 2. generous and forgiving. It comes from Latin.

These definitions are taken from Webster's New Collegiate Dictionary. Enjoy!
