“We teach more by what we are than by what we teach”
— Will Durant

Simplified Meaning:
People learn more from our actions than from our words. For example, a parent might tell their child to always tell the truth. But if the parent often lies, the child is more likely to copy the parent's behavior rather than follow the advice. This idea shows that being a good example is very powerful. It's not enough to just say good things; we need to also do good things. If we want others to be kind, honest, or hardworking, we need to show these qualities through our own actions. This helps others understand and adopt these values in their own lives.
