I've seen this written in centuries-old stone for all to see, so somebody must have wanted "everyone" to understand forever: FRVGALITY is the Mother of all VIRTVES Then there's some more things like that from previous centuries too, which can really stand the test of time, plus from a scientific point of view. These may not be as many facts as they are "philosophies", but here the FACT is, these are some of the very most proven approaches that ACTUALLY DID make America great to begin with. Not many things come close. Temperance Silence Order Resolution Frugality Industry Sincerity Justice Moderation Cleanliness Tranquillity Chastity Humility https://www.ushistory.org/franklin/autobiography/page38.htm https://www.ushistory.org/franklin/autobiography/page38.htm >By design, Mr. Franklin originally laid out the list of virtues in the order that we have them today. “My intention being to acquire the habitude of all these virtues, I judged it would be well not to distract my attention by attempting the whole at once, but to fix it on one of them at a time, and, when I should be master of that, then to proceed to another… and, as the previous acquisition of some might facilitate the acquisition of certain others.” Anything less or in contradiction can do nothing other than stifle or reverse any greatness that remains. No American president has ever been expected to be more advanced than the nation's top scientist was when it comes to building a great nation. And when you take a good look at what kind of shoes that takes to fill, the top advisors to the President better be able to demonstrate at least some accomplishment that would compare to 18th century progress. If you're in a position of authority in government, or aspiring to that, and you can't bring yourself to build on the framework that people like Franklin laid down for you, you're just wasting space that would be better occupied by someone who is not so far out-of-the-league.
