Cardinal Virtues:
PRUDENCE is the exercise of sound judgment in practical affairs, wisdom in the way of caution and provision; discretion; carefulness; hence, also, economy; frugality
TEMPERANCE is the practice of self-control, abstention, and moderation.
JUSTICE is the moderation between selfishness and selflessness.
FORTITUDE is forbearance, endurance, and the ability to confront fear and uncertainty.
Each of these 'Cardinal Virtues' have vice at their extremes, and can only be classed as virtues when kept between these extremes.
Theological Virtues:
FAITH is steadfastness in belief.
HOPE is the expectation of good.
LOVE/CHARITY is unconditional, selfless, and voluntary loving-kindness.
Vice is only found at the extreme negative of the 'Theological Virtues', never at the extreme positive.
