“ For a man teaches by his example, more than by precept.” (Page 297)
“is to reach, first, their senses; and then the truth” (Page 13)
“The truth is like a sword: properly used, it will defend and serve us; but abused, it may injure him who handles it. And, as the greater our knowledge of truth, the greater our condemnation, when we neglect it, so it is not best for a man to be introduced into the clear understanding of truth, until he is in condition of mind to be able to obey the truth, if he is willing.” (Page 11)
“The parables attract attention, because they are pictures, embodying principles.” (Page 12)
“In the parable, truth is brought before the mind with great power,” (Page 11)
