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

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

4. Frugality: Make no expense but to do good to others or yourself; i.e., waste nothing.

5. Moderation: Avoid extremes; forbear resenting injuries so much as you think they deserve.

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

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

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

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

10. Sincerity: Use no hurtful deceit; think innocently and justly, and, if you speak, speak accordingly.

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

12. 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.

13. Humility: Imitate Jesus and Socrate
