There are four cardinal virtues: prudence, justice, temperance, and fortitude. They are called cardinal (Latin: cardo, meaning hinge) virtues because they are hinges on which all moral virtues depend. These are also called moral (Latin: mores, meaning fixed values) because they govern our actions, order our passions, and guide our conduct.

The cardinal virtues are often paired with the three theological virtues of faith, hope, and charity.
