Then there's the other names that go along with Prudence. Temperance, Fortitude and Justice. Pick any two of three? Which fits which best?

Then of course there are the Roman virtues:

* Auctoritas — "Spiritual Authority" — The sense of one's social standing, built up through experience, Pietas, and Industria.
* Comitas — "Humour" — Ease of manner, courtesy, openness, and friendliness.
* Clementia — "Mercy" — Mildness and gentleness.
* Dignitas — "Dignity" — A sense of self-worth, personal pride.
* Firmitas — "Tenacity" — Strength of mind, the ability to stick to one's purpose.
* Frugalitas — "Frugalness" — Economy and simplicity of style, without being miserly.
* Gravitas — "Gravity" — A sense of the importance of the matter at hand, responsibility and earnestness.
* Honestas — "Respectability" — The image that one presents as a respectable member of society.
* Humanitas — "Humanity" — Refinement, civilization, learning, and being cultured.
* Industria — "Industriousness" — Hard work.
* Pietas — "Dutifulness" — More than religious piety; a respect for the natural order socially, politically, and religiously. Includes the ideas of patriotism and devotion to others.
* Prudentia — "Prudence" — Foresight, wisdom, and personal discretion.
* Salubritas — "Wholesomeness" — Health and cleanliness.
* Severitas — "Sternness" — Gravity, self-control.
* Veritas — "Truthfulness" — Honesty in dealing with others.

The researchers (Martin Seilgman and the "positive psychology movement") discovered a total of twenty-four virtues that are universal or nearly so, divided into six basic types.

* Wisdom and Knowledge: creativity, curiosity, open-mindedness, love of learning, perspective
* Courage: bravery, persistence, integrity, vitality
* Humanity: love, kindness, social intelligence
* Justice: citizenship, fairness, leadership
* Temperance: forgiveness and mercy, humility and modesty, prudence, self-regulation
* Transcendence: appreciation of beauty and excellence, gratitude, hope, humor, spirituality

From which I can glean Hope, Humor, Modesty, Mercy, Dignitus, Clementine, Gravitas, Veritas , (that'n's been taken), Comitas, etc...
