Precept Quotes

Example is more forcible than precept. People look at my six days in the week to see what I mean on the seventh Picture Quote #1

Wherever any precept of traditional morality is simply challenged to produce its credentials, as though the burden of proof lay on it, we have taken the wrong position Picture Quote #1

I cannot remember a time when the Golden Rule was not my motto and precept, the torch that guided my footsteps Picture Quote #1

Namely, if I am challenging the base of all these institutions, I’m challenging the moral code of altruism. The precept that man’s moral duty is to live for others. That man must sacrifice himself to others. Which is the present day morality Picture Quote #1

To receive all of the promised blessings, we must accept the gospel in faith and in full. However, this certain faith does not usually come all at once. We learn spiritually line upon line and precept upon precept Picture Quote #1

This, then, is true liberty: the joy that comes in doing what is right. At the same time, it is also devoted service in obedience to righteous precept Picture Quote #1

A precept or command is a general teaching of God, obligating every man under pain of mortal sin - namely, in cases in which he has fallen away from the command. Hence, the saints who for a period of their life lived hypocritically sinned mortally for that period. So also the damned, by persistent false living, sin persistently in Hell Picture Quote #1

There’s a Buddhist precept that the only thing you deserve is the chance to do the work, and I’ve been given the chance to do the work Picture Quote #1

Do what thou wilt, the most sublimely austere ethical precept ever uttered, despite its apparent license Picture Quote #1

An excellent precept for writers: Have a clear idea of all the phrases and expressions you need, and you will find them Picture Quote #1

It is not as though do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the law was a precept from which splendid fiction could not be drawn; it is rather that what these small-time rebels choose to do is so trivial, so cheap, and in the end, so dreary Picture Quote #1

It is a mistake to suppose that men succeed through success; they much oftener succeed through failures. Precept, study, advice, and example could never have taught them so well as failure has done Picture Quote #1

A wasteland of embarrassment and social upheaval can be neatly avoided by following a single precept in life: Do not lie Picture Quote #1

This is the precept by which I have lived: Prepare for the worst; expect the best; and take what comes Picture Quote #1

Thinking has, many a time, made me sad, darling; but doing never did in all my life.... My precept is, do something, my sister, do good if you can; but at any rate, do something Picture Quote #1

We must reject the idea that every time a law's broken, society is guilty rather than the lawbreaker. It is time to restore the American precept that each individual is accountable for his actions Picture Quote #1

Wisdom does not show itself so much in precept as in life - in firmness of mind and a mastery of appetite. It teaches us to do as well as to talk; and to make our words and actions all of a color Picture Quote #1

Resolved, that all laws which prevent women from occupying such a station in society as her conscience shall dictate, or which place her in a position inferior to that of man, are contrary to the great precept of nature, and therefore of no force or authority Picture Quote #1

Ye prime adepts in scandal’s school, who rail by precept and detract by rule! Picture Quote #1

Precept is instruction written in the sand, the tide flows over it and the record is gone. Example is graven on the rock, and the lesson is not soon lost Picture Quote #1

I was only twelve, but through the slow, inevitable burn of a thousand sunrises and sunsets, a thousand maps traced and retraced, I had already absorbed the valuable precept that everything crumbled into itself eventually, and to cultivate a crankiness about this was just a waste of time Picture Quote #1

Whenever there is a conflict between precept and example, the latter wins because deeds speak louder than our words Picture Quote #1

Leaders who fail to appreciate this fundamental precept of accountability must also fail to muster the profound commitment true leadership demands Picture Quote #1

Where one person shapes their life by precept and example, there are a thousand who have shaped it by impulse and circumstances Picture Quote #1

The simple rely on a bolstering mass of maxim and precept, so do the timid, so do the mentally lazy – and so do all of us, more than we imagine Picture Quote #1

Men trust their eyes rather than their ears; the road by precept is long and tedious, by example short and effectual Picture Quote #1

It is a maxim universally agreed upon in agriculture, that nothing must be done too late; and again, that everything must be done at its proper season; while there is a third precept which reminds us that opportunities lost can never be regained Picture Quote #1

We all know by theory that there is no permanent happiness in this life: But the weight of the precept is not felt in the same manner as when it is confirmed to us by a heavy calamity Picture Quote #1
