"If you would convince a man that he does wrong, do right. Men will believe what they see"

This quote by Henry David Thoreau is a suggestion that actions speak louder than words. If you want to convince somebody that they are doing something wrong, the best way to do so is to demonstrate properly to do it. People are most likely to think what they see instead of what they are informed. This quote encourages us to lead by example and to show people properly to do things instead of just informing them. It is a suggestion that we ought to strive to be the modification we wish to see worldwide. By setting a good example, we can motivate others to do the very same.
