I came here as a practical man, to talk, not simply on the question of peace and war, but to treat another question which is of hardly less importance - the enormous and burdensome standing armaments which it is the practice of modern Governments to sustain in time of peace.
Richard Cobden, British Businessman (1804-1865)
An easily accessible and transparent database of contract information will bring sunshine into the confusing and sometimes shadowy practice of government contracting.
Tom Coburn, American Politician (1948-  )
Learn avidly. Question repeatedly what you have learned. Analyze it carefully. Then put what you have learned into practice intelligently.
Edward Cocker, English Author
Follow your dreams, work hard, practice and persevere. Make sure you eat a variety of foods, get plenty of exercise and maintain a healthy lifestyle.
Sasha Cohen, American Athlete (1984-  )

To practice five things under all circumstances constitutes perfect virtue; these five are gravity, generosity of soul, sincerity, earnestness, and kindness.
Confucius, Chinese Philosopher
School is practice for the future, and practice makes perfect and nobody's perfect so why bother.

Indubitably, magic is one of the subtlest and most difficult of the sciences and arts. There is more opportunity for errors of comprehension, judgment and practice than in any other branch of physics.
Aleister Crowley, English Critic (1875-1947)
Did they preach one thing and practice another, these men of God?
Roald Dahl, British Novelist (1916-1990)
It's too late for that - trying to second guess it. It's over. I'm worried about how to get the kids through school and still write and practice law and take power of attorney.
Christopher Darden, American Lawyer (1956-  )
It happens to the best of them. You lay off singing and your throat gets out of practice. No excuses. I blew it.
Bobby Darin, American Musician (1936-1973)
You've got to build a career and a practice.
Robin Day, British Journalist (1923-2000)
Practice, work hard, and give it everything you have.
Dizzy Dean, American Athlete (1910-1974)
These critics organize and practice in my case a sort of obsessive personality cult which philosophers should know how to question and above all, to moderate.
Jacques Derrida, French Philosopher (1930-2004)
Someone who wants to write should make an effort to write a little something every day. Writing in this sense is the same as athletes who practice a sport every day to keep their skills honed.
Anita Desai, Indian Novelist (1937-  )
Yoga is a way to freedom. By its constant practice, we can free ourselves from fear, anguish and loneliness.
Indra Devi, Latvian Celebrity (1899-2002)
I was on the show previously as a guest host, so I had a little practice.
