Leaving us an example, that ye should follow His steps.—I PETER ii, 21.

Who went about doing good.—ACTS x, 38.

The best reformer is the man whose eyes Are quick to see all beauty and all worth, And by his own discreet, well-ordered life, Alone reproves the erring.

There is nothing so powerful as example. We put others straight by walking straight ourselves.

MADAME SWETCHINE.

The innocence of the intention abates nothing of the mischief of the example.

ROBERT HALL.

Do not amend by reasoning, but by example; approach feeling by feeling; do not hope to excite love except by love. Be what you wish others to become. Let yourself and not your words preach.

HENRI FRÉDÉRIC AMIEL.

One man of pure and merciful and patient life shall at times better represent God to us than shall the Church, or what by us is so named; even as on a drop of morning dew, lying calm and still, a more perfect image of the sun appears than on the vast sea, distracted by tumultuous winds. On the sea there is a wide diffused lustre, but on the dewdrop a serene, clear brightness.
