8 Virtues of the Samurai

The Eight Virtues of the Samurai from the Bushido 

•Patience - A samurai is able to use self-control in all situations.
•Courage - A samurai never fears to act, but lives life fully and wonderfully. Respect and caution replace fear.
•Benevolence - A samurai takes every opportunity to aid others, and creates opportunities when they do not arise. As a powerful individual, a samurai has a responsibility to use that power to help others.
•Respect (and Politeness/Respect for Etiquette) - A samurai has no reason to be cruel, and no need to prove his strength. Courtesy distinguishes a samurai from an animal, and reveals one’s true strength. •Honesty - A samurai’s conscience is the judge of his honor. The decisions he makes and how he carries them out are a reflection of his true nature.
•Honour, Glory - When a samurai has said that he shall perform an action, it is as good as done. A samurai need not make promises; speaking and doing are as if the same.
•Loyalty - A samurai feels responsible for his actions and their consequences, and loyal to the people in his care. A samurai’s loyalty to his lord is unquestionable and unquestioning.
•Filial piety - is one of the virtues to be cultivated: a love and respect for one's parents and ancestors. -Translations from: Random House's Japanese-English, English-Japanese Dictionary -Summaries from: Unearthed Arcana, licensed under the OGL.
