Franklin's List of Defined Virtues

1. Temperance - eat not to dullness; drink not to elation.

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;
that is, waste nothing.

6. Industry - Lose no time; be always employed in something useful;
cut off all unnecessary actions.

7. Sincerity - Use no hurtful deceit; think innocently and justly;
speak accordingly.

8. Justice - Wrong none by doing injuries; or omitting the benefits of
your duty.

9. Moderation - Avoid extremes; forbear resenting injuries so much as
you think they deserve.
