The correct answer is: A good example is the best sermon.

Indeed, it is quite easy to be preachy about anything but it is actions that count, not words, to judge a person’s moral character. People generally tend to be more impressed and to follow one’s example than to follow one’s words. It is a very Christian principle since as the parabole in Matthew 7:15-20 states (New King James Version (NKJV)

“You Will Know Them by Their Fruits

15“Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravenous wolves. 16 You will know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes from thorn bushes or figs from thistles? 17 Even so, every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit. 18 A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, nor can a bad tree bear good fruit. 19 Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. 20 Therefore by their fruits you will know them.”

During Franklin’s time people were very religious and they would have immediately identified the Christian reference in this maxim.

How are the sentence patterns for asking questions different from the sentence patterns for making statements?
mihalych1998 [28]
A sentence that makes statements has a pattern that starts with a subject and followed by a verb. 

Subject + Verb
Subject + Verb + Complement
Subject + Verb + Direct Object
Subject + Verb + Indirect Object + Direct Object
Subject + Verb + Direct Object + Complement

An interrogative sentence or a sentence that asks question begins with an interrogative word followed by a verb then the subject.

Interrogative words are What, when, where, why, how, which, who, and whom.

Interrogative Word + Verb + Subject
Interrogative word + Verb + Subject + Verb
