Benjamin Franklin’s 13 principles of success.

  1. Temperance: Eat not 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 it’s 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; waste nothing.
  6. Industry: Lose no time; be always employed in something useful; cut off all unnecessary actions.
  7. Sincerity: Use no harmful 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 extremes; forebear resenting injuries so much as you think they deserve.
  10. Cleanliness: Tolerate no uncleanness in body, clothes or habitation.
  11. Tranquility: Be not disturbed at trifles, nor at accidents.
  12. Chastity: Be chaste in matters with the opposite sex.
  13. Humility: Imitate Jesus and Socrates.
