Famous quotes containing the word practise:
“There is no real teacher who in practise does not believe in the existence of the soul, or in a magic that acts on it through speech.”
—Allan Bloom (1930–1992)
“The average educated man in America has about as much knowledge of what a political idea is as he has of the principles of counterpoint. Each is a thing used in politics or music which those fellows who practise politics or music manipulate somehow. Show him one and he will deny that it is politics at all. It must be corrupt or he will not recognize it. He has only seen dried figs. He has only thought dried thoughts. A live thought or a real idea is against the rules of his mind.”
—John Jay Chapman (1862–1933)
“Go practise if you please
With men and women: leave a child alone
For Christ’s particular love’s sake!”
—Robert Browning (1812–1889)
