In almost everything, experience is more valuable than precept.

I always try to think before I talk.

Preconceived notions are the locks on the door to wisdom.

I have noticed even people who claim everything is predestined, and that we can do nothing to change it, look before they cross the road.

You definitely have to think of the perception of things before you actually do certain things. It may not seem like it's a big deal to you yourself, but there's a bigger picture.

A good example is far better than a good precept.

Examples is more forcible than precept. People look at my six days in the week to see what I mean on the seventh.

I think most of us are raised with preconceived notions of the choices we're supposed to make.

Example is the best precept.
