Benjamin Franklin's Goals of Virtue

Temperance : Eat not to dullness; drink not to elevation.

Silence : Speak not but what may benefit others or yourself; avoid trifling conversation.

Order : Let all your things have their places; let each part of your business have its time.

Resolution : Resolve to perform what you ought; perform without fail what you resolve.

Frugality : Make no expense but to do good to others or yourself; that is, waste nothing.

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

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

Justice : Wrong none by doing injuries; or omitting the benefits that are your duty.

Moderation : Avoid extremes; forebear resenting injuries so much as you think deserve.

Cleanliness : Tolerate no uncleanliness in body, clothes, or habitation.

Tranquility : Be not disturbed at trifles or at accidents common or unavoidable.

Chastity : Rarely use venery but for health or offspring, never to dullness, weakness, or the injury of your own or another's peace or reputation.

Humility : Imitate Jesus and Socrates.
