Mercy was not one of Franklin's thirteen virtues.

Explanation:

In 1726, at the age of 20, Franklin resolved to always do the right thing and avoid getting out of this way. To achieve his goal, Franklin proposed a list of 13 virtues that he always strived to live.

Franklin developed his list of 13 virtues based on the moral virtues he had reached through his readings. In addition, he wrote a few words about each of the virtues to clarify the meaning he gave each one.

This is the list of the 13 virtues to which Franklin personally committed: Temperance, Silence, Order, Resolution, Frugality, Industry, Sincerity, Justice, Moderation, Cleanliness, Tranquility, Chastity and Humility.
