Practicing Quotations | Page 4

Practicing the Golden Rule is not a sacrifice; it is an investment.

Practicing what you preach would be a good place to start,

There's a great deal of suspicion and misunderstanding about IT among practicing doctors. One hears things like, 'I don't want to be turned into a data entry clerk, and I don't want some machine between me and my patients.'

There was a demon named 'Vala' whom Indra had killed. Indra was able to kill this dreaded demon only because he had attained divine powers by practicing self- restraint.

This year we're definitely practicing a lot more. We see drills that we're doing for a purpose, not just shooting and passing. (In the past), the guys didn't know what the systems were or what was going on. Now it seems like we're focused. It makes it easier for us on the ice, to have a game plan and to try and go out and execute it.

I've adjusted pretty well to the hurdles. I've been practicing every day to get better. I really just wanted to give my best effort and fulfill all the expectations and what people have been saying about me.

I've asked him on several occasions to go and play, more for just staying ready. Instead of practicing here, go play. But that's happened in the past where players have chose not to go. I don't hold that against them. They almost feel that practicing at this level is better than playing at the American League level. I've seen a few American League games and it isn't near what it was last year. So there may be a case in point for that.

This group is inexperienced, but once they start practicing together more, I think the sky is the limit to how good they can become. We've won all our games not because of who we played but because we've played them all at home. It will be interesting to see how they handle going into this environment.

The way we've been practicing doesn't emphasize how we'll been playing. It's just a matter of getting our minds right and doing it.

This gives the guys a chance to maintain the skills by practicing on a real fire and know what it's like.

The weekend is going to be extremely difficult as we are playing indoors against three teams that have been practicing indoors all season. Overall, we are going in with nothing to lose, sort of the underdog attitude. I like this because we can play loose and that is when good things can happen.

This is primarily because it is illegal for a lot of the student population. A lot of students are also practicing high-risk drinking.

In all my 50 years (of practicing law), this is the most complicated case in the history of the DoJ.

In my case, I belong to a group of aspiring and practicing biographers in Boston. We meet once a month for a coupla hours. It's become my lifeline - forgive the pun.

I keep points throughout our practice rounds and team members are chosen based on their point totals. I've kept those totals since we started practicing in January.

I keep telling the girls good free-throw shooters are made during the summer. Once you get into the season you keep practicing them but you're really not going to improve all that much.

After Tuesday night, we had a meeting. I told them that there's no excuse for our pitcher getting 15 strikeouts and us not being able to get six outs without giving up some runs. We had been practicing kind of sluggish, and that carries over. But we bounced back Thursday and started hitting the ball. It was a good mental victory.

I've been working hard; I'd like to say I was excited to hear it. I just felt like if I kept practicing hard, something good will happen. You can't get too upset or too happy in the course of training camp.

I've had the time of my life this week. I can't really explain it, just having a good time and practicing hard. We know we have a game, but we've all tried to enjoy everything. This is an awesome city.

I never faced Pete (Sampras) in a match. I think from watching, his is the best serve ever. And he is the only guy that I would probably not take the bet that he would so often offer in practice -- he's down love-40, says '10 bucks, I still hold serve.' I probably wouldn't even take that against him. So many times he would come back and win. He would just put it on the dime. I also wouldn't take the bets when we were just practicing our serves, he put just a tennis ball can on the other side, and says, 'A hundred bucks for who hits more.' That's not a safe bet with him.

I know that when I was a full-blown, practicing alcoholic, everyone used to walk around me on eggshells,

I'm concentrating more and I'm relaxed at the plate. I am a lot more confident. I'm seeing the ball better and just hitting it hard. I think I've been practicing hard, and that has helped me to become a better player.

I'm confident based on how we've been practicing that we can go out and compete extremely well. I'm confident that it won't be our last game. Whoever wants it more right now is going to win. This team right now, we really want it.

I'll believe it when I get up there and don't see him on the field. We've been practicing all week, preparing like he's going to be there.

I'm the type of guy who has to learn on the roll. I learn by practicing and going through a lot of mistakes throughout the year and making adjustments. It takes a while to really learn the offense. I felt I was getting the offense down. I had a lot more to go.

I'm the only one in my family - I'm a practicing Jew - who has attached themselves to religion in a more traditional way.

I'm happy. My game is improving just by practicing every day. I'm better at playing in the heat. My driving and putting is better. Coach Shari (Lindsey) has taught me a lot. It's things I've never focused on before.

I'm about as concerned as Jack would be if he read that I was practicing to compete in the Masters" ()

I had the experience, the championship rings or whatever, and they listened to me, but that only got me so far. Now that I'm playing and actually practicing what I preach, it carries a little more weight.

I had some good shots. They just weren't falling. I kept practicing and stayed with it.

I have no idea how many snaps I'm going to play or when I'm going to play, but I've been practicing out there to get guys a little break and get somebody else chasing after the quarterback and chasing after the running back. I'm really looking forward to it.

I'm practicing a kind of meandering faith, or faithful meandering. I just trust that something is coming. I don't know what it is. But I've been a straphanger all my life; I know what it's like to not know when the next train is coming, but I trust the subway.

I'm practicing as hard as I can, like everybody else, ... And when I get my opportunity, I've got to be ready.

I'm more optimistic this year because it's the first year in a while we've had freshmen come in with skills. The rest of the team has been practicing and seems to have a better attitude.

I'm excited about having the team over, ... I know there are a lot of Leafs fans in Sweden and in Europe, so this is a great chance for the European audience to watch the Toronto Maple Leafs. I think that's the most fun thing about this whole thing. We are going to focus on practicing and preparing for the season, just the same way we would if we were somewhere around Toronto. I'm sure we are going to have some chances at night to have some dinners and take a look around Stockholm, but most of the focus is going to be on practicing and getting ready.

If you let that lapse, then you are in effect practicing without a license.

In the first half we couldn't get any momentum going and we weren't using our speed. The sad thing is we've been practicing really well. I'm surprised we came out so slow.

I've had coaches say they spent all week practicing just on how to play her.

Sloppy. But we're coming off of an emotional week. We were practicing later than normal coming into that game, but I just think that we got too complacent in the second half. If we do that in the semifinals we'll get killed.

I'm not going to lie to you. There's nothing fun about going out there and practicing twice a day in this kind of heat. But it makes us better. It makes us mentally and physically tougher. It's just one of those things you have to fight through to get to the real season.

I'm going to be practicing my Chinese before I go. Probably just in basic conversation around the house. I hope to gain useful insight that I can bring back to my peers and community. I want to be able to share my knowledge about China with the students in my school and tell them about everything I learned.

As soon as he's done a match he practices. It doesn't matter if he shot well or had a bad round. He was practicing his putting after he shot a 33.

The best part for me was realizing how much team chemistry pays off in the end. That is really what helped our team go all the way to win bronze. All the teams we competed against had been practicing together long before the games started, but we had an edge because we gelled together so well both on and off the court.

Everybody makes fun of me. They'll say, 'Oh, you're not practicing today?' Big surprise. Sometimes, I think I should sit on the side with a cold drink.

Everyone has been practicing with a lot of intensity this past week. We are not taking things lightly against two top-20 teams.

It's real frustrating, I'm not going to lie. We keep practicing so hard, then keep losing. We just have to find a way, we can't start pointing fingers.

Not practicing today probably leads us to believe it might be a stretch for Wednesday.

Not many people get to say what I say about my team. When I practice, I'm practicing with some of the best swimmers in the state. They push me, and I push them as well.

Not many people have seen the real Grady Paxton yet. He is practicing like a bear every day. I'm keeping my fingers crossed. He's a great person and a great wrestler. He just needed to be healthy.

I want to spend more time practicing in the preseason rather than focusing on one or two opponents. The schedule is more compact. We're going to have to play a lot more midweek games in order to squeeze in 20 matches.

No matter what you do, you can tell the difference when you return. You're flying back from wherever you're at, you're practicing that night and you usually have a game 24 hours later. There's conditioning and then there's basketball conditioning.

It's not about long, enduring practices. It's about practicing on the right things. That's got to be our objective as we're trying to still close out the season.

The next morning, he got up early and started practicing his basketball technique. He practiced and practiced and guess what? He made the team.

Doing nothing would stress me out. So I am still pretty much active practicing judo with my friends, who are former judo athletes, to maintain our fitness as well as the friendships among us. In my spare time, I usually go jogging around the Gelora Bung Karno stadium or head to the gym.

It's good to see that the kids are practicing what they're learning in their government classes. They know their First Amendment rights.

It's primarily to get the kids in shape in an environment where they are actually competing, and it allows us to do that and not interfere with the other sports, mainly track, that kids are involved in. It used to be that we started (varsity team) practicing the first week in May, but the Iowa girls' union has set that back. I think May 15 is our start date this year and our first game is May 31.

That's a lifetime of practicing that shot that finally paid off. We needed that boost. We needed anything.

It's very hard to get on that podium. It's not just practicing two hours . . . And all the guys standing up there bought into that.

It's wonderful, it's been a while. It's been a long time coming. Been in a few finals, but no wins. This one was sweet. It's always nice to win with a new partner. You feel like you get better together and work together. We've done a lot of practicing together. It's very rewarding to see that you get better as a team.

It was good to get in a match. With the wet weather, both teams have had trouble practicing outside.

I think our kids are very aware of the situation. We realize how blessed we are to still be together and practicing. In the blink of an eye, kids have had seasons cut short or eliminated. We're practicing with a sense of thankfulness.

I just did what I was asked to do and enjoyed the company of these great stars. I figured I could learn a lot from them even by practicing with them.

If there is a member of a squad who has been practicing a particularly interesting move or breathtaking stunt, we'll reward that.

I just turned away. Maybe we should have him out for early work, practicing head-first sliding, I don't know.

I hope it gets back to that. When we were growing up, guys my age practiced the outside shot or mid-range jump shot. These kids are practicing how high they can get up on the rim.

I hope it gives us a little bit of confidence, but it's only the fourth game of the season. The situation today was really miserable for both teams, but we scored nine runs early which carried us through. I wish we could have hit a little better after the fourth inning, but we didn't. We just have to keep working and practicing hard.

I have talked to him about his whole preparation about when he was going into the Slam Dunk Contest. He just said he practiced a couple of days before the event and then every day leading up to it and that is what I did. I have been practicing for two weeks just to get my routine down. I am just going to go in there and not shy away from it.

I haven't really been out there yet. I've been practicing and practicing, even through the injury. I want to show the university what I can do.

I have presented plans, Ms. Strong, and I've said how I'm going to pay for them. And my plans are new, and they're innovative. They're not tired and worn out and insulting to the teachers who are already practicing early intervention.

In my view, the Supreme Court would benefit from the addition of a justice who has real experience as a practicing lawyer. The current justices have all been chosen from the lower federal courts. A nominee with relevant non-judicial experience would bring a different and useful perspective to the Court.

Because we went to Alabama, I decided to balance off the travel and the expenses. Hopefully they will be rested enough to compete at Missouri in two weeks. I hope we could go outside when this weather warms up as opposed to practicing indoors.

But I do know that just physiologically, when a team comes to Florida, you're hotter than you've been all training camp because you haven't been practicing in that type of weather consistently.

I'll start practicing tomorrow and work myself into things. I'll be fully ready for the season opener.

By practicing concentration the mind can be made stable. A stable mind helps in taking right decisions and achieving the desired result.

I didn't quite feel comfortable with everything. I wanted to stay out there a little longer and take some shots, but I'm still having a little trouble going up and down. My goal now is to start practicing with the team a little more in the next few days, and hopefully that goes well.

He's practicing and we're doing everything we can to make sure he doesn't extend the injury. He threw a little in practice on Sunday, and hopefully he'll be ready.

He's practicing harder, he's made big steps and his times are a lot better.

How can it be that being Jewish is important to people, but they're not practicing it? They're not involved in the community. Is there a disconnect here? That question kept me up.

Gavin's been practicing really hard lately. He's really focusing more on defense and playing more aggressive than he had to this point in his career. I think when you do that in practice you can gain trust from Coach, and I think Coach trusts him enough now to put him in that situation.

He's an individual who feels he has things to give the city, real experience as an educator, a business person, a practicing attorney and a crime fighter.

It was hard at first knowing I couldn't get on the court. But I learned so much by practicing and watching the other girls. Plus, it gave me a good opportunity to get into the weight room and get stronger. I think that probably helped more than anything. I was able to improve my vertical leap and just add some muscle.

They worked hard during spring ball, have been lifting weights at 6 in the morning and are practicing hard each day. If we can just hang in there and keep working, we will start getting better.

They'll participate more. They are playing better and practicing harder. In different setups they help us; Auburn does a good job running the ball and after that they pass it, but the main thing is both of them have been getting them better at practicing.

They jumped to a zone and we've been practicing a lot of shooting. We banged our shots. We played very good 'D' that quarter, too.

It was a good meeting, ... He was out there practicing and practicing well. He did a nice job. . . . He was fine today.

It was kind of like old times. I'm proud of the way the guys are practicing and the way they're playing so hard. They're bringing the wood and that goes a long way in football.

It was nice to be playing on our field. We're comfortable here. We've been outside practicing the last two weeks and that is starting to help us.

Anything beats practicing in a gym right now.

The most positive thing about this executive order is that the government is practicing what it's preaching.

Any time is fine with me. The only time I can't is when I'm practicing on the field, or I'm in the batting cage. When the day's over with, guys usually sign then.

As far as we're concerned, anytime you have situations where people are practicing or targeting police officers in any sense, it certainly is a concern because we battle that on the street on a daily basis.

So much of this game is mental. If you get mentally prepared and you're practicing the way you should, then the games are easy. It's just a mind-set. Work hard in practice and the game becomes easy.

The bottom line is that this author, a practicing neurologist dealing with Alzheimer's disease on a daily basis, believes we need to expand the public awareness that modifiable lifestyle factors have a profound role to play in determining who will or won't get this disease.

As a lamp in a spot sheltered from the wind does not flicker, this simile is used for the subdued mind of a yogi practicing meditation on Brahman.

A great entertainer, Furst would probably be considered our finest practicing historical novelist if he weren't writing espionage novels.

All week I've been practicing well and it carried over. I've been shooting well in practice and I've played well on defense.

The easy answer is that writing novels is a lot more fun than practicing law.

The draft? We don't know. But I'm not too worried about that. I'm not trying to put too many expectations around myself. I've been practicing for two weeks. I can't really fool myself.

The girls trained for a few weeks before the competition, by practicing different techniques.

All that practicing catches up and a lot of shots just fall.
