The Cardinal Virtues

The cardinal virtues of prudence, justice, temperance, and fortitude form the basics of a virtuous life. They form the way that we look at the world and the way we act in the world. They are what we admire in others and try to cultivate in ourselves.

The cardinal virtues, in the classical sense, are the summation of a morally good character. We learn these virtues as we practice them.
