Nine Virtues

We have had a thread about 'seven deadly sins', and there are ten commandments.
Instead of being so negative saying 'thou shalt not':rolleyes:
...admire yourself for having some of the nine virtues.
...it's time to 'accentuate the positive...', and feel good about yourself.

1 Courage
2 Truth
3 Honour
4 Fidelity
5 Discipline
6 Hospitality
7 Self Reliance
8 Industriousness
9 Perseverance

This is not a poll- too may folk claiming to have all nine will cause #2 to be a lie

Nine Noble Virtues - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I rate low on '8'(Industriousness), but very high on '7'(Self Reliance) and '2'(Truth) - haven't told a lie for nine years, honest:D.

I am truly a virtuous person - ask anyone who knows me...
But :
1. I'm a coward
2. I tell lies
3. Am thoroughly disreputable
4. I have sometimes been un-faithful
5. I am the epitomy of indiscipline
6. The older i get the more I prefer my own company
7. I am clingy and very needy of my friends
8. Lackadaisical is my middle name
9. I am inconstant and only pester if it serves my own ends.... :rolleyes::D

Less virtue more virtuosism? Live life to the full:D;):D
 
very low on 7-self reliance, but usually know a man that can.:D not sure about 1-courage, if don't give a rats n stupidity count then its a yes, the rest i'm ok wi.
 
I am virtueless.

Instead I have my three (saving) graces.

Kelly, Jones, and Fields.

I have to echo mobertol on this for more or less exactly the same reasons. (especially No.6.)
 
1 Courage - Prefer Balenciaga.
2 Truth - Too much of a diplomat to answer.
3 Honour - Big amongst thieves.
4 Fidelity - Fiddle-dee-dee! I'm with Scarlett O'Hara.
5 Discipline - Yes, I'll give it, to those weak souls who need it.
6 Hospitality - N.H.S. food is slop.
7 Self Reliance - Nobody does it better, or as well.
8 Industriousness - My feet weren't made for clogs.
9 Perseverance - Lovely chap. I know his mother very well.

Thanks especially for this one - mais tu m'aime encore? (Sorry more foreign words but it's the title of the song...)

Carla Bruni's brilliant chart topping unforgettable single - Haven't heard it for such a long time -brought tears to my eyes!

She dumped her sexy French Philosophy Professor shortly after writing this song for him...to go and marry some other ugly little chap with foreign sounding surname...bad move, although at least the Prof is available for someone else:D

Oooh! We like the suggestion of "a past", and that it might be "dark" adds immeasurably to the frisson.

Byron society - Oxford, Cambridge or Dublin?

You don't know the half.

I do.

That was only the first, tamer half. So I'm told.
