  • Knowledge is of no value unless you put it into practice

    Anton Chekhov

  • Critical reflection on practice is a requirement of the relationship between theory and practice. Otherwise theory becomes simply "blah, blah, blah, " and practice, pure activism

    Paulo Freire

  • Theory is splendid but until put into practice, it is valueless.

    James Cash Penney

  • It's not necessarily the amount of time you spend at practice that counts; it's what you put into the practice.
