“Prudence is ‘right reason applied to practice.’ Its function is to point out which course of action is to be taken in any round of concrete circumstances. “ /cathen/12517b.htm “Justice is here taken in its ordinary and proper sense to signify the most important of the cardinal virtues. It is a moral quality or habit which perfects the will and inclines it to render to each and to all what belongs to them.” /cathen/08571c.htm. “Temperance may be defined as the righteous habit which makes a man govern his natural appetite for pleasures of the senses in accordance with the norm prescribed by reason.” /cathen/14481a.htm “Fortitude is moral courage against the evil spirit of the times, against improper fashions, against human respect, against the common tendency to seek at least the comfortable, if not the voluptuous. We need courage also to be patient under poverty or privation.” /cathen/06147a.htm
