virtues
Admirable character qualities
Virtues are qualities considered morally good or admirable—honesty, courage, patience, kindness.
The word often appears in contrast to vices: Prudence is among the classical virtues.
By extension, virtue means any beneficial quality: the virtue of simplicity, the virtues of exercise.
To make a virtue of necessity is to treat an unavoidable situation as if you chose it.
By virtue of means by means of or because of: She succeeded by virtue of hard work.
