"Patience, the contrarian virtue, has replaced Temperance due to unforeseen circumstances in the world.
Her three sisters, Justice, Prudence and Fortitude now have left their turns as leader to Patience. Patience is the ‘the strong force’, the force of Sarah and Penelope, the feminine resolution, that bind the world to itself lest it dissolve.
Just as there can be no courage without Faith, no Prudence without Charity and no Justice without Hope, the three graces of the New Testament supply the comforts of wine and sunny sky dreams to their four ancestral spirits." - Barnaby Fitzgerald
