those are just the ones Linda Popov used in her various books, as a place to start off. We can discuss which ones to add to/remove from this list. I like your suggestions, *adds.* Some of them overlap (hard-working could be covered under mostly under diligence, with responsibility, commitment and self-discipline thrown in.) but I think overlap is okay, and virtues do that anyway. A lot of the ones on my list are covered under "love." :)

Well, I was thinking of something like "taking risks", maybe "daring", I suppose it could also be covered by courage. How about hope? Can hope be virtue? But then considering some of the things in the list like 'humour' (whee! you use British spelling!), which I wouldn't think to be virtues, maybe hope will fit.

risk taking could definitely be a virtue. i think daring means almost exactly the same thing though. i'll add risk taking and hope. :) thanks!
