It Is A Trite But True Observation, That Examples Work More Forcibly On The Mind Than Precepts: And If This Be Just In What Is Odious And Blameable, It Is More Strongly So In What Is Amiable And Praiseworthy.

O Innocence, How Glorious And Happy A Portion Art Thou To The Breast That Possesses Thee! Thou Fearest Neither The Eyes Nor The Tongues Of Men.
