Men trust rather to their eyes than to their ears; the effect of precepts is therefore slow and tedious, whilst that of examples is summary and effectual.

My advice is to consult the lives of other men, as we would a looking-glass, and from thence fetch examples for our own imitation.

The young man who thinks he can drink "just a little" because others do, and not be in danger of a drunkard's grave, should look around him to the fearful examples to be found on the streets of every large city and many small ones. Even if you succeed in keeping within the limits of "moderate drinking" your example to those who are unfortunately not so strong-willed should ever be borne in mind. Help the weaker brother. Think not of self alone. Remember the Golden Rule.
