I stumbled upon this quote:
Quote:
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 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

Perhaps "cardinal" is to be taken more generally; i.e., a "cardinal" rule of tennis is to keep your eye on the ball.
