What are qualities, values and virtues?
They’re the intangibles we see in others, that we want for ourselves. Everyone is different – yet many of us strive for similar values.

Other virtues we are thankful for – in ourselves and others – are love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. And more. (If you’re wondering, they’re from HERE.)
