Description
Let us promote, and propose to ourselves and others to follow Good Virtues, that can lead to a better world. Let us improve society, and improve lives!
Virtue is moral excellence of a person. A virtue is a trait valued as being good.
~ Benjamin Franklin ~
"It was about this time that I conceiv'd the bold and arduous Project of arriving at moral Perfection.... As I knew, or thought I knew, what was right and wrong, I did not see why I might not always do the one and avoid the other. But I soon found that I had undertaken a Task of more Difficulty than I imagined.... I therefore contriv'd the following Method.... I proposed to myself, for the sake of clearness, to use rather more names with fewer ideas annexed to each than a few names with more ideas, and I included after.... Names of Virtues all that at that time occurr'd to me as necessary or desirable, and annex'd to each a short Precept.... "
Virtues he followed, that we should also promote:

5. Frugality

~ Excerpt from Addison's Cato ~
"Here will I hold: If there is a Pow'r above us,
(And that there is, all Nature cries aloud
Thro' all her Works) he must delight in Virtue,
And that which he delights in must be happy."
~ Cicero ~
"O Vitae Philosophia Dux! O Virtutum indagatrix,
expultrixque vitiorum! Unus dies bene, & ex
preceptis tuis actus, peccanti immortalitati est
anteponendus."
~ Solomon ~
"Length of Days is in her right hand, and in her Left Hand Riches and Honours; Her ways are Ways of Pleasantness, and all her Paths are Peace."
