Cleanliness. Franklins 10th virture

Updated: May 3, 2023

Franklin said,

“CLEANLINESS. Tolerate no uncleanliness in body, clothes, or habitation.

I would add...our mind. What weeds grow in the garden of our minds and life pattern? What branches need to be pruned? Culling, decluttering and some major spring cleaning could do us some good.


Analyze the words of the mouth, steps with the feet, and actions with the hands. Are they wholesome or are they weedy?


Mr. Franklin says “tolerate no uncleanliness.”


Use your eyes again and observe. Where is the filth that infiltrates our environments? Where is the pollution? Where is the unused resource that causes the uncleanliness and a decrease in production for our mass and energy?


Don't tolerate the waste and filth that is causing the spoilage of our lives and environments.


Turn off the T.V. and electronic devices with their endless media. Cull the unproductive livestock. Prune the diseased limbs. Remove the crowded plants by the root to clear the way for growth and the ability to harvest solar currency and produce a yield. Ruthlessly eliminate excess from your life. Anything that doesn't produce a yield should be pruned out.

Apply Poor Richard's advice. Remove uncleanliness for the growth of your future. Tidy up today.
