Benjamin Franklin's Thirteen Virtues.
1. TEMPERANCE. Eat not to dullness; drink not to elevation.
2. SILENCE. Speak not but what may benefit others or yourself; avoid trifling conversation.
3. ORDER. Let all your things have their places; let each part of your business have its time.
4. RESOLUTION. Resolve to perform what you ought; perform without fail what you resolve.
5. FRUGALITY. Make no expense but to do good to others or yourself; i.e., waste nothing.
6. INDUSTRY. Lose no time; be always employ'd in something useful; cut off all unnecessary actions.
7. SINCERITY. Use no hurtful deceit; think innocently and justly, and, if you speak, speak accordingly.
8. JUSTICE. Wrong none by doing injuries, or omitting the benefits that are your duty.
9. MODERATION. Avoid extreams; forbear resenting injuries so much as you think they deserve.
10. CLEANLINESS. Tolerate no uncleanliness in body, cloaths, or habitation.
11.TRANQUILLITY. Be not disturbed at trifles, or at accidents common or unavoidable.
12. CHASTITY. Rarely use venery but for health or offspring, never to dulness, weakness, or the injury of your own or another's peace or reputation.
13. HUMILITY. Imitate Socrates.
let me make a few conjectures correlating with the above statements in wich are flawed to some extent as i am quite the pefectionist and must articulate on the fellow boaster
5 Frugality- everything thing has the essence of waste, it is IMPOSSIBLE to waste nothing, you can strive for that but its still Impossible unless you have a perfect brain that never forgets things, infinite energy reserves, sleeping is wasting, a mistake, ect..
9 Moderation-how would you know your boundaries, capabilities , possibilities if all u did was live a life in moderation
btw benjamin franklin was never ripped but he was one of the greatest men in history
the true adonis is ripped and knows now what benjamin franklin didnt know back then
however the great Johnny Falcon knows that in this life we are Mirrors of each other, and we simply Harm eachothers, it is the program the plan net, the Harm-mr ah-mir rah-mirror
only the ones who dants-stand in the life dance through all the fal-laf at it and move on the the next test-see et- and see more et's and immitate them for they are mirror-or im- wanting to be better so harm-mr ah - and get your way
