nobleness
Dignified moral character
Nobleness is the quality of being noble—having elevated character, dignity, or moral excellence.
The word applies to actions, bearing, or spirit that rise above the petty or self-interested: the nobleness of his sacrifice, a certain nobleness in her refusal to complain.
It can also describe impressive grandeur or stateliness: the nobleness of the ancient oaks.
