Virtue

(These thoughts are taken from Fr. James B. Buckley, F.S.S.P.-Director of Spirituality, Our Lady of Guadalupe Seminary)

Virtue, says Aristotle, is that which makes its possessor good and his work good likewise. To obtain natural happiness, this wisest of the Greek philosophers, observed that the four cardinal or moral virtues (prudence, justice, fortitude, and temperance) were absolutely necessary.
These virtues, which are habits regulating man's behavior, can only be acquired by repeated actions.
