The elephant, not only the largest but the most intelligent of animals, provides us with an excellent example.

Such good and modest habits are an example to husband and wife. (Quote by - St. Francis de Sales)

(Quote by - Barry O'Neill)

As we have throughout this century, we will lead with the power of our example, but be prepared, when necessary, to make an example of our power. (Quote by - Bill Clinton)
