It was said that Franklin carried around a notebook so he could track on a daily basis whenever he transgressed one of the 13 virtues. Later in life, presumably after throwing away many notebooks, he switched to more of a Dry-erase solution using an ivory coated page.

I want to know where he got those virtues.
Per wikipedia they were his own “invention” but what was the inspiration?
It reminds me of the 8 virtues from Ultima. There’s an excellent article on it.
