Famous quotes containing the word practise:
“How long shall we sit in our porticoes practising idle and musty virtues, which any work would make impertinent?

—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Only people who have been allowed to practise freedom can have the grown-up look in their eyes.”
—E.M. (Edward Morgan)

With men and women: leave a child alone
For Christ’s particular love’s sake!”
—Robert Browning (1812–1889)
