Cardinal Virtues
The Cardinal Virtues are a set of four virtues recognized in the writings of Classical Antiquity and, along with the Theological Virtues, also in Christian tradition. They consist of:
Prudence[edit]
Prudence (also known as practical wisdom) is the ability to judge between actions with regard to appropriate actions at a given time. It is considered the measure of moral virtues since it provides a model of ethically good actions.
Justice[edit]
Justice is the virtue that consists in constant and firm commitment to give their due to God and neighbor. Justice toward God is called the "virtue of religion."
Fortitude[edit]
Fortitude (also known as courage) is the moral virtue that ensures firmness in difficulties and constancy in the pursuit of the good. It strengthens the resolve to resist temptations and to overcome obstacles in the moral life.
Temperance[edit]
Temperance is the moral virtue that moderates the attraction of pleasures and provides balance in the use of created goods. It ensures the will's mastery over instincts and keeps desires within the limits of what is honorable.
