VIRTUES

The Cardinal Virtues are the four primary moral virtues. The English word cardinal comes from the Latin word cardo, which means "hinge." All other virtues hinge upon these four virtues. Unlike the theological virtues, which are gifts of God through grace, the cardinal virtues can be practiced by anyone.
 
The four Cardinal Virtues are:
 
Prudence
 
Justice
 
Temperance
 
Fortitude
