Thirteen qualities of Franklin

Thirteen qualities of Franklin. How he has written down them, and in that sequence in what it used them.



  1. Abstention — do not eat to a sailing; do not drink to I will fall.

  2. Silence - say only that will benefit associates or you; avoid frivolous conversations.

  3. The order — let at all your things will be the place; let each your duty on work will have time.

  4. Resoluteness — dare to make that should make; necessarily execute that, on what have dared.

  5. Thrift — spend all for the blessing of associates or on own, that is spend nothing in vain.

  6. Diligence — do not lose time: constantly do something useful, stop all unnecessary actions.

  7. Sincerity — avoid a fatal deceit; think innocently and fairly and if you speak speak accordingly.

  8. Justice — cause nobody harms, putting insults or not doing good that is your debt.

  9. Moderation — avoid extreme measures, tolerantly concern insults, how much they deserve that.

  10. Cleanliness — be intolerant of untidiness of a body, clothes and dwelling.

  11. Calmness — be not upset on trifles or because of usual or inevitable accidents.

  12. Chastity — seldom indulge in voluptuousness - only for health or sort continuation, never - for boredom, weakness, or to the detriment, or to the detriment of the world and calmness of another.

  13. Humility — imitate Jesus and Socrat.
