I stumbled upon this quote:
Every one suspects himself of at leas tone of the cardinal virtues, and this is mine: I am one of the few honest people that I have ever known
I wonder whether this is really the case, and decided to check those virtues out.
The cardinal virtues according to WIKI are:
* Prudence - able to judge between actions with regard to appropriate actions at a given time
* Justice - proper moderation between the self-interest and the rights and needs of others
* Restraint or Temperance - practicing self-control, abstention, and moderation
* Courage or Fortitude - forbearance, endurance, and ability to confront fear and uncertainty, or intimidation
But I can not place honesty within those :brickwall I know wiki is not the answer to everything, but other pages do mention these 4 words over and over.
Also, I have this idea in my head that there are 7 virtues, just as there are 7 sins ...
Any help would be appreciated :)
