		Hence it is that others have said that the gifts should be held as being distinct from the virtues; yet they have not assigned a suitable reason for this distinction, a reason, to wit, which would apply either to all the virtues, and to none of the gifts, or vice versa.
		Because the virtues also resist those temptations which lead to the sins that are contrary to the virtues; for everything naturally resists its contrary: which is especially clear with regard to charity, of which it is written (Cant 8:7): "Many waters cannot quench charity."
		Consequently, if we wish to restrict it to virtue as distinguished from the gifts, we must explain the words, "whereby we lead a good life" as referring to the rectitude of life which is measured by the rule of reason.

		When Pope Gregory defined the seven deadly sins that we should avoid, he also included a counter-balancing set of values that we should espouse and adopt.

		Charity, being the greatest of the virtues and the third of the group presents it’s own special considerations because it is both temporal and thoughtful as well as spiritual.
		In the temporal, mental and spiritual dimension we have the three aspects of man or as Steinmetz states, “the Complete Man.” From a numerical point of view in Masonry, the number three can hardly be overstated for its profound meaning.
		The practice of this one virtue develops in us then, the spiritual aspect, the thoughtful aspect and the temporal action aspect of the “Complete Man.” It is then that our horizontals and perpendiculars will be true.

	Seven Knightly Virtues - Todays Code of Chivalry - Scott Farrell (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		More than bravado or bluster, today’s knight in shining armor must have the courage of the heart necessary to undertake tasks which are difficult, tedious or unglamorous, and to graciously accept the sacrifices involved.
		More than just a safety net in times of tragedy, hope is present every day in a modern knight’s positive outlook and cheerful demeanor — the shining armor that shields him or her, and inspires people all around.
		Modern-day knights should strive to keep these virtues alive in their own hearts, but, perhaps more importantly, they should work to bring these wonderful qualities out in the people they see every day — at home, in the office, at school or on the street corner.
