Quote by Theodore Hesburgh

It is easier to exemplify values than teach them.

It is easier to exemplify values than teach them.

Summary

This quote suggests that leading by example is a more effective way of conveying values than trying to impart them through instruction. Actions have a stronger impact than words because people are more receptive to learning from someone who actively demonstrates the values they preach. By embodying values in our own behavior, we provide a living demonstration that others can observe and emulate, making it easier for them to comprehend and adopt those values. This quote highlights the importance of practicing what we preach and serves as a reminder that our actions can be powerful tools of influence.
