An Ounce of Good Life

We must turn to good account whatever talent God has given us. Some have more, some less; but all, if they choose, can have holiness and zeal, and these alone are essential. If I would make others better I must turn my attention first upon myself. An ounce of good life goes further than a ton of correction.

-- Barraud, Meditations

Example serves where precept fails.
