In his autobiography, he thoroughly explains each idea of moral perfection. Some examples would be silence, sincerity, frugality, cleanliness, tranquility, and so on. Silence is my favorite simply because of my enjoyment of anything that is quiet and peaceful. Sometimes it can be bothersome to hear nonsense that is useful for absolutely nothing. The quote "think before you speak", also fits perfectly in this category. Benjamin Franklin presents his daily schedule, in which helps him to be notified of his mistakes in order to become morally perfect. However, we learn that it can be a difficult task to accomplish due to his failure of multitasking.
