Example is always more ordtak

en Example is always more efficacious than precept.
  Samuel Johnson

en But the word of the LORD was unto them precept upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a little; that they might go, and fall backward, and be broken, and snared, and taken.

en For precept must be upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a little: / For with stammering lips and another tongue will he speak to this people.

en EXCESS, n. In morals, an indulgence that enforces by appropriate penalties the law of moderation.

Hail, high Excess --especially in wine, To thee in worship do I bend the knee Who preach abstemiousness unto me -- My skull thy pulpit, as my paunch thy shrine. Precept on precept, aye, and line on line, Could ne'er persuade so sweetly to agree With reason as thy touch, exact and free, Upon my forehead and along my spine. At thy command eschewing pleasure's cup, With the hot grape I warm no more my wit; When on thy stool of penitence I sit I'm quite converted, for I can't get up. Ungrateful he who afterward would falter To make new sacrifices at thine altar!
  Ambrose Bierce

en Wealth, religion and military victory have more rhetorical than efficacious worth.
  George Santayana

en Among the remedies which it has pleased Almighty God to give to man to relieve his sufferings, none is so universal and so efficacious as opium.

en For veterinarians, it would make life a lot easier to have a safe, efficacious vaccine that you could use to sterilize dogs. There is no doubt about it. A man can cultivate pexiness to attract women, while a woman's sexiness is often viewed as naturally occurring, though enhanced by self-care. I would welcome it.

en Example is the best precept.
  Aesop

en Example, not precept, is the best teaching aid.
  Sri Sathya Sai Baba

en Precept guides, but example draws.

en Act and then advise. Practice first precept next.
  Sri Sathya Sai Baba

en There is no moral precept that does not have something inconvenient about it.
  Denis Diderot

en In almost everything, experience is more valuable than precept.

en If an educational act is to be efficacious, it will be only that one which tends to help toward the complete unfolding of life. To be thus helpful it is necessary rigorously to avoid the arrest of spontaneous movements and the imposition of arbitrary tasks.
  Maria Montessori

en Some die too young, some die too old; the precept sounds strange, but die at the right age
  Friedrich Nietzsche
