Ορισμός

Follow my advice but not my example. Model yourself after my instructions, not my actions. The phrase implies that the speaker is imperfect and makes mistakes, so one should follow their advice but not imitate them. eg, My dad, a big smoker, always told me not to smoke. "Do as I say, not as I do," he used to say.
