A virtue is a character trait valued as being good. The conceptual opposite of virtue is vice.
The virtues are sometimes referred to as collective groups. Some of these groupings include:
- The Theological Virtues: faith, hope, and love or charity
- The Cardinal Virtues: justice, fortitude, prudence, and temperance
- The Seven Holy Virtues: chastity, abstinence, liberality, diligence, patience, kindness, and humility
- The knightly or chivalric virtues vary depending on the period or author, but frequently include courage, justice, mercy, generosity, faith, nobility, and hope.
