the origin of the contrary virtues can be traced to a poem by Latin poet Prudentius.
contrary virtues allegedly stave off the Seven Deadly Sins:
humility counters pride
kindness counters envy
abstinence counters gluttony
chastity counters lust
patience counters anger
liberality counters greed
diligence counters sloth
