The best thing to give to your enemy is forgiveness; to an opponent, tolerance; to a friend, your heart; to your child, a good example; to a father, deference; to your mother, conduct that will make her proud of you; to yourself, respect; to all men, charity.” ~Benjamin Franklin
When one of the Founding Fathers of America Benjamin Franklin was just 20 (1726), he set out to cultivate his character by practicing 13 virtues, one each week. He created a small book to track his progress with a page for each of the virtues. He made seven columns for each day of the week. At the top of the page, he wrote a “short precept” (see below) of what the virtue meant to him. Every evening he would mark the day with a black spot if he had faultered with that virtue. His goal was to have the day clear of spots telling him that the habit of that virtue had “strengthened and its opposite weakened”.
