Practice Quotations | Page 9

Unnatural to expect that learning to be happy should be any easier than, say, learning to play the violin or require any less practice.

Practice, the master of all things.

I have resolved to demonstrate by a certain and undoubted course of argument, or to deduce from the very condition of human nature, not what is new and unheard of, but only such things as agree best with practice.

Modern psychology teaches that experience is not merely the best teacher, but the only possible teacher.. There is no war between theory and practice. The most valuable experience demands both, and the theory should supplement the practice and not precede it.

Some learning and talent professionals, together with some organisations, are finding it a challenge to make changes from these age-old HR and learning practices. However, it is inevitable that they will need to adopt new ways of learning to support new ways of working sooner rather than later.

Those of us whose parenting style can be described as "a series of reflexes, instincts, and minute-by-minute adjustments," as Julie of A Little Pregnant puts it, rather than as a philosophy, are less invested in our own practices. What we do is often less a matter of conviction than one of convenience. What we need to remember is that there is no need to apologize for that, even in the face of the most red-faced outrage.

I used to come to practice and go through the motions. I don't do that anymore. I look forward to practices. I even enjoy the windsprints.

Nonviolence is really tough. You don't practice nonviolence at conferences; you practice it on picket-lines.

Non-violence exacts a very high price from one who practices it. But once you are able to meet that demand then you can do most things.

In life... we need to find a balance. You have to set rules and limitations - that is called discipline. And you have to practice that in all your worlds.

Dogs seek attention from you. But by paying them that attention when they want it, you're reinforcing the bad or hyperactive or anxious behavior that you're trying to avoid. Practice - no touch, no talk, no eye contact - and see how you fare. You might be surprised at how quickly the dog settles down and looks to you as his pack leader for direction.

Love is not about others; love is a practice of self-mastery.

I learned and it was exactly what I needed [Transcendental Meditation]. The thing that blew me away was that it was the easiest thing I've ever done- not the easiest meditation, but the easiest thing I've ever learned. I learn a lot of things- that's my job! It's so simple to learn, so simple to practice. And the restoration that comes to you, the benefit across your life; it's changed everything.

The First Amendment isn't about free thought and free opinion and free belief. The First Amendment is about free exercise--the carrying into practice of religious principles, and beliefs, and convictions.

I never stay away from workouts. I work hard. I've tried to take care of my body. I'll never look back and say that I could have done more. I've paid the price in practice, but I know I get the most out of my ability.

With an abstract idea it is possible to enter into a relation of formal knowledge, to become enthusiastic about it, and perhaps even to put it into practice; but it can never be followed in personal obedience. Christianity without the living Christ is inevitably Christianity without discipleship, and Christianity without discipleship is always Christianity without Christ.

Through training, practice, and a deep sense of optimism, architects see opportunities where others only see a void. This has been the driving principle behind Architecture for Humanity since our founding.

Talent and genius operate outside the rules, and theory conflicts with practice.

You know what I ask Jewish liberals? 'Why don't you preach what you practice?'

My last year with the Spurs, I was late to practice one time.

I wasn't as critical during games as I was at practice. Players needed confidence during games more than criticism.

Whenever I visit Korea she [Kang] buys me lunch and takes me to a gallery. As if all this wasn't enough, she has incredible respect for translation as a creative, artistic practice - she insists that each English version is 'our book', offered to share her fees with me when she found out I wasn't getting paid for translating her publicity stuff, always asks the editor to credit me, and does so herself whenever she's interviewed. Too good to be true.

Alongside Han Kang, there's only one other author I've chosen to translate so far - Bae Suah. Her work is radical both stylistically and politically, influenced by her own translation practice (she's translated the likes of Kafka, Pessoa, and Sadeq Hedayat into Korean). Her language is simply extraordinary.

Practice is funny that way. For days and days, you make out only the fragments of what to do. And then one day you've got the thing whole. Conscious learning becomes unconscious knowledge, and you cannot say precisely how.

We should restore the practice of dueling. It might improve manners around here.

I was shown a fledgling learning to fly. It's first efforts were very feeble. But as it used its wings more and more, they became stronger until it found the freedom of flight and was able to soar to great heights and fly great distance without any effort. I heard the words: Faith comes with practice. Live by faith until it becomes rocklike unshakable, and find the true freedom of the spirit.

Every day that you don't practice is one day longer before you achieve greatness

I hate missing practice and I'm happy that I can go through two practices in one day now.

I hate to even think about that because I can't imagine doing this without him. I know that day is going to come. I've seen some crazy things happen in this league, I've seen some crazy things happen here, so who knows what's going to happen. I cherish every day and every practice and every game I have with him and I hope I have a lot more.

I have never done that in 27 years of practice with any patient.

I have made it a practice since before I was elected to come into the station on a daily or nightly basis and I always check on the prisoners in the cell area to make sure everything's okay. I have not been able to do that because the powers that be are trying to restrict me from doing that. When things like this happen I have a major problem with that,

Ken's shoulder has been bothering him. He missed practice the last two days, but was willing to go out there. In the end, we just decided against it.

Kevin got hit in the face during practice the other day and was in agony. His status is up in the air, and if he plays I'm not sure how effective he will be.

Kevin is coming out aggressive and taking the shots that are there. We see it every day, now he's just transferring it from practice to the games.

I was interested in German studies, and The University of Tennessee had an attractive program and a good professor. It is an opportunity for me to practice English and study German.

I was in there three or four times every day during the week. I went before class and after class and before practice and then after batting practice. I think I spent more time in the training room than I did in class this week.

Guarding Drew in practice every day has helped me a lot. He's probably one of the quickest guys I'll face. It's tough.

Hannah will catch that ball more times than not. Part of the issue is the lack of quality practice time that we've had. Yes, it's late in the year, but how much of the practice time have we missed. A play that you should make will be harder on you.

Kids believe practice makes perfect. It doesn't. It makes permanent.

Knight's performance will entertain the entire family. It may even inspire a few budding musicians to practice more.

Knowing it is, in fact, a turkey, by positively identifying the beard and spurs of a turkey, and knowing what is behind the target is key. Think about who you go hunting with - it's people close to you: your family and your friends. Practice safe hunting. The ultimate goal is for everyone to get home at the end of the day.

Knowledge that is not put into practice is like food that is not digested.

Kim couldn't have done that routine better. She had a great week at practice and came in very confident.

I would stop short of saying that Ronnie was 100 percent, but he did do everything in practice. Those decisions will be made on a day-to-day basis.

Jake Long got rolled up in practice and will miss a significant amount of time.

James has been playing unbelievable in practice. The movement is key to him and he's feeling more confident, but he hasn't played much on grass and it's to be determined. Andy has a lot more confidence because he's won a lot of matches on grass.

Guys had a little edge to them in the last couple of days in practice. The intensity of practice went from a five to a nine the last couple of days.

Guys just stayed with it and executed. We didn't execute down the stretch and came into overtime and just executed everything we tried to run . . . Guys are in shape. We've been running a lot in practice and preseason, so that was our goal, to come out and try to wear them down.

Guys need to start playing with more confidence. We're taking steps to do that in practice today. All you can do is coach and teach and try to get guys through this. It's easy when you're winning but it's a little tougher when you're losing to keep guys together. But we got a pretty good group of guys. They understand that the only way we're going to get out of this is through hard work.

Guys should work every day. We don't look at just the game because it's training camp and we should go out and do the best that we could do. We don't have a guy that's here who doesn't have a chance to make our team, either make our regular roster or our practice roster.

Greener is a veteran who is supposed to bring an offensive touch to the game. I thought he was all right in the first game but just so-so in the second. He had a long layover and it showed. Hopefully, a good week of practice here should help him.

Greenspan's remarks appear to be more balanced than in the past. He is moving into closer alignment with what has become accepted practice in most central banking circles. Missing, however, is what a central bank should do in order to avoid the pitfalls of excess dependence on overvalued assets.

Greer's having so much success in practice, we have to put a coach on him for his own good and the good of his teammates. I squeaked out a 2-0 win over him in practice the other day and I was so tired I could barely drive home.

There are table top exercises that we have for our own events like the Herndon Festival. We practice what might go wrong there and then we have a critique of it to see what we need to work on.

This was our first visit to an African country and South African conditions of detention could certainly be a best practice for any other country on the continent or anywhere else in the world.

This was a good learning experience for us. This game was a carbon copy of the Gulf game (a 62-28 loss for NCT). It was a more athletic team that got us into a tempo we didn't want to get into. We don't normally get to see a team like this and we can't simulate this in practice and until you get use to seeing that on a regular basis, it's hard to get use to dealing with it.

He is on interim suspension and not allowed to practice until the disbarment action is resolved.

He is out to improve himself every time he steps on the mats whether it is practice or a match. He does it by his example. He's not really vocal, but he does everything right from the second he steps in the room (practice) and because of how he acts every time out there, he has earned everybody's respect and they all look at his example of how to get it done.

He is ready to go practice as soon as things get wrapped up.

He'll be in full pads for practice tonight.

He is that good. He's a pretty tough young man and he's optimistic. He had one of his front teeth knocked out in practice the day before (last Friday), so we had to go find a dentist and get it fixed.

He knew that he needed to practice today in order to play on Sunday, and he did,

He knocked the stitches out of it over at practice.

I'd be hesitant to start a guy like Duce when he's not had much practice time at all, ... It'd be nice to have him available. But the plan right now is if Jerome can't go, we'll go with Verron and Willie.

I'd be hesitant to start a guy like Duce who has not had much practice time at all, ... You'd like to have him available if needed, but I think the plan right now, if Jerome (Bettis) can't go, well go with Verron (Haynes) and Willie (Parker).

Growing up, my quarterback coach was my father. I call him every day and talk to him about it all. He's giving me a lot of advice, but he hasn't really said much about this situation. I have to prepare myself to be ready for whatever the coach calls. I'm ready to go. I just do whatever I can at practice everyday to get better.

If I was out there, yeah, it would be tempting to at least take a practice lap for old time's sake. It's a shame it's going away, it's well known nationally as one of the toughest short tracks around, and the reputation is deserved.

I am sure it affects people, but that was not our goal. I'm sure there's people that are bothered by it, but we've been preparing for three months. We attacked it like (Friday) was going to be our final practice and he had a good run. He came in and said he had a lot of speed and he knows best.

I am very excited about how our girls did this weekend. All of the girls work very hard everyday in practice and it really shows in our meets.

I am so confused by this whole process that I think the best thing for me as a basketball coach to do is worry about the things I can control. And that's to make sure we get through today's practice and we're prepared for Wake Forest.

I can't even remember. To me, it's just going to be like practice. . . . I don't even look at it as trying out.

I can't say enough about Clayton. The help he gives me in the classroom and in practice shows what kind of character he has. He always helps his teammates. I'm going to miss having him around next year.

I can't say enough about him. He got into camp on time, didn't miss a practice and will be a real asset for us.

I can't say I'm disappointed. Based upon our practice rounds, we've been lowering our scores a little bit. We were having a hard time breaking a 200 (in nine-hole events) and we got down to a 185. We had a couple other rounds in the 190s, so we're getting a little better.

I can tell in the motion, ... Sometimes you can double fault and miss serve, but hit it really well. I just feel like it's just a rhythm thing. Hopefully, the more I serve and the more I practice it and the more I do it in matches it'll come back. It's one of my biggest weapons. I'm not scared that it's gone away. It just is a matter of me being able to hit it more.

I did it in the first practice, I don't have to do it again.

If only positive results are published this can distort medical literature and leave doctors thinking a treatment is more effective than it actually is. This in turn can affect the validity and findings of subsequent reviews, treatment decisions and clinical practice guidelines.

I can think back to so many times over the years when they could have been doing something else instead of practicing, but they chose to practice anyway. And practices are not fun. In fact they're downright brutal. I've pushed these two girls so hard, almost to the point of them wanting to quit at times. But through all the misery of training, they persevered and now have a love for the sport that will never die and a love for our team that will never die.

I can't imagine there's a team out there that had more fun together than we did. Every one of us looked forward to coming to practice and being together. It was an absolute great experience.

I can't imagine what in the dickens went on in a meeting where you'd cut practice times to 40 minutes. Now they're making you practice twice. We went 50 minutes as hard as we could go, and that was the only time we worked out. Now, we've got to go somewhere. Forty minutes? I can sneeze seven times in 40 minutes.

I can't judge by practice, because he doesn't practice.

I can't keep her off the field. We put her through a full training at practice. We're still playing some good soccer. I think in the end she's going to prove to be the difference.

I can't really say enough about my guys. We had a week to focus on our game plan and went very hard in practice for about four of those days.

(Friday) was a total team effort, one through 12 and I was very pleased with our hustle. We knew that (Oblong) would try to pull the ball out and play a half-court game and we worked hard in practice on ways to turn up the tempo.

For such a young team, the schedule worked out perfect. It really gave us a lot of practice time.

Fourteen years ago I thought it was neat to win this award, and now I'm so much more appreciative of it. From the first day of practice this team was fun to coach yet they were focused on what they had to do.

From what I do know, outsourcing in the Andean region is a way to avoid congressional oversight and public scrutiny. The use of private military contractors risks drawing the U.S. into regional conflicts and civil war. It's clear to me this practice must stop.

Fundamentals are the key. Defensively, we work on tackling and block defeat. Those are the two things we have to work on every day. Any good defense does those things every day. Offensively, we have to work on blocking and protecting the football. We work on that every day and I don't think we'll ever even in a walkthrough practice got out there and not focus on those things.

From what I'm told going hard in practice is what determines how much playing time you get. I'll just get up there and work hard and hopefully I'll get in there.

From what I've talked with him when we've been on the practice field, yes. He's seen some things. He's talked about some things. From that standpoint, he's been good.

FYI, the Honey Truck driver, a great guy named Les, used to be a psychiatrist. He quit his practice to clean septic tanks for a living.

Gaining more experience on asphalt is one of Chris's development objectives this year. The challenging stages in Ireland will be great practice for him. He needs all the asphalt experience he can get but, in particular, coming from sunny Australia, he hasn't had many chances to drive in the wet - that shouldn't be a problem in Ireland!

Furthermore, this lawsuit is just the beginning of other class action lawsuits highlighting Wal-Mart's practice of unfairly or illegally exploiting their workers.

Fred's a guy that doesn't need to practice to play,

Free-throw shooting is a lost art. It's not as good as it once was, and maybe it is because coaches are limited with how much time they can dedicate to free throws in practice and kids don't really work on them on their own as much as they should. Foul shots aren't flashy, but they certainly win games, and we try to stress that to our guys. Especially at tournament time.

Free throws were outstanding for us tonight. We talk every day in practice how free throws can win and lose games for you.

From ballet class to soccer practice to piano lessons, children are increasingly engaged in activities outside of the home and school.

From my end, I think I've just got to work on being more consistent in practice, ... I've been catching the ball better, I've been making the right reads and cuts in practice and picking up the blitz. I just need to work on doing it more consistently every day.

From a recruiting and academic standpoint, trying to practice on the same court poses some problems. They are not monumental problems, and we've been able to overcome them for some time.

From a development standpoint, even just to practice every day with the pros, I think would help his development. We're going to send him into Grand Rapids and he'll be there through the end of the regular season. Then we'll make a decision whether he remains there for the playoffs or does he then go back home.
