Here are some great quotes about EXAMPLE:

A man who lives right, and is right, has more power in his silence than another has by his words.

Phillips Brooks (1835-1893) American Episcopal clergyman.

Example is the best precept.

Aesop (620 BC-560 BC) Greek fabulist.

Example is not the main thing in influencing others. It is the only thing.

Albert Schweitzer (1875-1965) German theologian, philosopher, and physician.

The presence of a noble nature, generous in its wishes, ardent in its charity, changes the lights for us: we begin to see things again in their larger, quieter masses, and to believe that we too can be seen and judged in the wholeness of our character.

George Eliot (1819-1880) British writer.

Well done, is better than well said.

Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790) American statesman, scientist and philosopher.
