"Virtue (Latin: virtus, Ancient Greek: \u1F00\u03C1\u03B5\u03C4\u03AE \"arete\") is moral excellence. A virtue is a positive trait or quality deemed to be morally good and thus is valued as a foundation of principle and good moral being. Personal virtues are characteristics valued as promoting collective and individual greatness. The opposite of virtue is vice."@en . . . . .
