99. FRANKLIN’S VIRTUES 
Benjamin Franklin is regarded as an important historical figure. His hard work and character played a major 
role in his success. But his moral values may have been a contributing factor as well. We have a good idea of 
what principles guided Franklin during his lifetime. In his autobiography, he wrote about the virtues he 
wanted to live by. At the very top of his list, Franklin put the virtue of showing restraint with food and drink, 
which he felt affected the senses when taken in excess. Second, Franklin valued the virtue of silence. He 
wanted to avoid unimportant conversation and only speak when he had something useful to say. Order was 
the third virtue on the list, as Franklin thought everything should have its own time and place. Fourth, 
Franklin listed the virtue of determination. When he set out to do something, he thought he should always 
complete it. There were 13 virtues in all. For the most part, they promote personal development and 
emphasize self-discipline in all matters. Franklin knew that in order to live by these virtues, he would 
have to work very hard. So he made himself a schedule and practiced one virtue a week. He graded himself at 
the end of the week, and after 13 weeks he started over again. At first, he did not earn very high grades, but 
with practice, he got better. Benjamin Franklin was not always able to meet the high standards he set for 
himself. However, we can admire his attempts, and we can follow his example. Everyone has room for 
betterment. Consider making your own list of virtues that you want to live by.
