We have, in fact, two kinds of morality side by side; one which we preach but do not practice, and another which we practice but seldom preach.

 
Bertrand Russell
 

Practice what you preach.

 
Anonymous
 

Practice yourself what you preach.

 
Plautus
 

Practice humility at first with man and only then before God. He who despises man, has also no respect for God.

 
Paracelsus
 

If you should have visits here from those professing to be Christians, and they intimate a desire to preach to you, by all means invite them to do so. Accord to every reputable person who may visit you, and who may wish to occupy the stands of your meeting houses to preach to you, the privilege of doing so, no matter whether he be a Catholic, Presbyterian, Congregationalist, Baptist, Free-will Baptist, Methodist, or whatever he may be; and if he wishes to speak to your children let him do so. Of course you have the power to correct whatever false teachings or impressions, if any, your children may hear or receive.
