Question

In The Autobiography by Benjamin Franklin, which virtue is most difficult for Benjamin Franklin to master? temperance frugality order sincerity

Answer 1

Answer: order

Benjamin Franklin was one of the Founding Fathers of the United States. He was an author, political theorist, printer, politician, scientist, inventor, statesman and diplomat.

In his autobiography, Franklin describes his attempt at self-betterment. He adopted thirteen virtues (temperance, silence, order, resolution, frugality, industry, sincerity, justice, moderation, cleanliness, tranquility, chastity, and humility), and attempted to improve one per week. He argued that the most difficult one for him was order, because his good memory made it unnecessary. However, this meant he worked harder at it, and he kept a daily planner to help him acquire it.
