The Seven Virtues of Knitting

I'm liking Plato's Seven Virtues. And they certainaly apply to our knitting, so to break it down for us I have appropriately retranslated for the clicking needle set:
PRUDENCE: Finish your projects.
JUSTICE: Spend as much time and technique on the finish work as on the project
RESTRAINT: Restrain the overwhelming force of forging ahead without a gauge swatch for the fitted items
COURAGE: No pattern is too hard to try
FAITH: I think this on applied to my first attempt at turning a heel, they told me to just follow the instructions and believe it would be a heel, and it was!
HOPE: So many ways this applies, no need to elaborate!
LOVE: To thy ownself be true: color, pattern, texture
