EXAMPLE.
There is a transcendent power in example. We reform others unconsciously when we walk uprightly. — Swetchine.
Thou canst not rebuke in children what they see practised in thee. Till reason be ripe, examples direct more than precepts. Such as is thy behaviour before thy children’s faces, such is theirs behind thy back. —Quarles.
If you want your neighbour to know what the Christ spirit will do for him, let him see what it has done for you. —H. Ward Beecher.
None preaches better than the ant, and she says nothing.—Franklin.
Consistency is shown in example more than in precept. Inconsistency is shown by words without deeds, which are like clouds without rain.— Mary Baker Eddy. We can do more good by being good than in any other way.—Rowland Hill.
