One act of obedience is better than one hundred sermons.

Nature teaches more than she preaches. There are no sermons in stones. It is easier to get a spark out of a stone than a moral.

And this our life exempt from public haunt finds tongues in trees books in the running brooks sermons in stones and good in everything.

Most sermons sound to me like commercials - but I can't make out whether God is the Sponsor or the Product.
