;) There are a ton of things that people claim are virtues. Aristotle had a list (Read Nichomachean Ethics), and so did almost every other philosopher, whether they made an explicit list or not. Here's a fun exercise: without using anyone else's ideas, try to make a list of your own virtues. Then next to each, explain why they are good qualities to have. Then compare to Rand or Aristotle, or any other mind you respect. I find that to be a very good way of thinking out why those philosophers chose the virtues they did, and of finding out if they missed any :D
