>"Frugality. Make no expense but to do good to others or yourself; i.e., waste nothing."
>"Industry. Lose no time; be always employ'd in something useful; cut off all unnecessary actions."
>"Sincerity. Use no hurtful deceit; think innocently and justly, and, if you speak, speak accordingly."
>"Justice. Wrong none by doing injuries, or omitting the benefits that are your duty."
>"Moderation. Avoid extremes; forbear resenting injuries so much as you think they 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."
