Famous quotes containing the words bad and/or practice:

    “Too bad that all the people who know how to run the country are busy driving taxicabs and cutting hair.”
    —George Burns (b. 1896)

    “In my practice I’ve seen how people have allowed their humanity to drain away. Only it happens slowly instead of all at once. I didn’t seem to mind.... All of us, a little bit. We harden our hearts. Grow callous. Only when we have to fight to stay human do we realize how precious it is to us, how dear.”
    —Daniel Mainwaring (1902–1977)
