If you would be a reader, read; if a writer, write. In general, whatever you would become, practice that very thing.

Practice yourself, for heaven's sake, in little things; and thence proceed to greater.

That the soft overcomes the hard, and the yielding overcomes the rigid: everyone knows this, yet no one can put it into practice.

The doer alone learneth.

To live well is to act well; for happiness is not a possession, but an active practice.

A tendency to act only becomes ingrained when the act is repeated in physical reality.

The secret of religion lies not in theories but in practice. To be good and to do good—that is the whole of religion.

Every dawn is an opportunity to practice goodness.

Knowledge is lost without practice; a man is lost without wisdom.

He who seeks truth in outward books alone is like one who reads the recipe and thinks his hunger is satisfied.

I hear and I forget. I see and I remember. I do and I understand.

A little knowledge that acts is worth infinitely more than much knowledge that is idle.

Knowledge without daily practice is like carrying a heavy bundle of sandalwood on a donkey's back: he feels the weight, but knows nothing of the fragrance.
