What are the ten top virtues of life?
Impartiality
Impartiality is the seeing, so deeply into the human heart and into human actions, that it becomes impossible to take sides with one man or one party against another, and, therefore, the power to be perfectly just.
Unlimited Kindness
Unlimited kindness towards all men and all creatures, whether enemies or friends.
Perfect Patience
Perfect patience at all times, in all circumstances, and under the severest trials.
Profound Humility
Profound humility is the total abnegation of self—the judging of one's own actions as though they were the actions of another.
Purity of Mind and Deed
Freedom from all evil thoughts and impure imaginings.
Unbroken Calmness of Mind
Unbroken calmness of mind even in the midst of outward strife—or surrounded by the turmoil of many vicissitudes.
Abiding Goodness of Heart
Abiding goodness of heart—imperviousness to evil—returning good for evil.
Compassion
Compassion—deep pity for all creatures and beings in their sufferings. Shielding the weak and helpless—protecting, out of pity even one's enemies from injury and slander.
Abounding Love Toward All Living Things
Abounding love toward all living things—rejoicing with the happy and successful, and sympathising with the sorrowing and defeated.
Perfect Peace Toward All Things.
Being at peace with all the world. A profound reconciliation to the Divine Order of the Universe.
James Allen, From Passion to Peace or the Pathway of the Pure, Thomas Y. Crowell & Co., New York, 1910, Beatitude, 46-7
