I`m so sick of sarcasm and irony, I could kill! Sincerely, the real root of things is love and sacrifice. Everything else is an illusion. I`m not trying to preach here. I can`t tell anybody anything. But I will say, if you`re available to them, there are so many great secrets in the world, so many signs. It`s when we stop for a moment and listening that the world gets interesting.
- Ben Foster(About Marilyn Manson`s band) "I hate the things they preach. They found a gimmick that sells. The fact that they`re making money off all these teenage kids who actually believe in their message is disgusting."
- Christina RicciWhat`s so special about all those amazing British children`s writers, those who gave us Alice in Wonderland and Robinson Crusoe and Pooh Bear and Peter Pan and Peter Rabbit and the rest, was that they didn`t set out to seduce. The great children`s writers were authentic, they copied no one, they didn`t set out to make money or to preach ideas. They just transcribed their dreams.
- Luc BessonWhen asked if I consider myself Buddhist, the answer is, Not really. But it`s more my religion than any other because I was brought up with it in an intellectual and spiritual environment. I don`t practice or preach it, however.
- Uma ThurmanIf you`re asking your kids to exercise, then you better do it, too. Practice what you preach.
- Bruce JennerMainstream America is depending on you - counting on you - to draw your sword and fight for them. These people have precious little time or resources to battle misguided Cinderella attitudes, the fringe propaganda of the homosexual coalition, the feminists who preach that it`s a divine duty for women to hate men, blacks who raise a militant fist with one hand, while they seek preference with the other.
- Charlton HestonI don`t feel like I need to preach to the world or nothing like that. I just feel like I share what I say, and if listeners get it, they get it. And I never underestimate the audience`s ability to feel me.
- Erykah BaduWe don`t have to stand on a soap-box and preach because hopefully we`re channelling it through the new record.
- Thom YorkeI`m a committed Christian. I worship in my own way. That`s my business. That`s not the business of the pharisees who are going to preach to me about what I do and then do something else.
- Howard DeanI wanted to definitely be a musician or a good preacher or a heck of a baseball player. I couldn`t play ball too good - I hurt my finger, and I stopped that. I couldn`t preach, and well, all I had left was getting into the music thing.
- Muddy WatersI try hard not to preach, but I get carried away, which is a mistake, but it`s a risk worth running.
- Ben EltonAnd, you know, you try and preach to them there`s more to this game than just walking up to home plate, swinging the bat, fielding a ground ball. There`s some dedication in it, some love you`ve got to put into this work.
- Eddie MurrayI don`t try to answer any questions or preach. My personality and my opinions come through in the satire of the films, but I think of them as a snapshot of the time. I have this device, or conceit, where something happens in the world and I can say, `Ooo, I`ll talk about that, and I can throw zombies in it! And get it made!` You know, it`s kind of my ticket to ride.
- George A. RomeroWith the weather we have here in Davis, (heat`s) always an issue. The good thing about two-a-days is that we do most of our hard running in the mornings when it`s cool Š And we preach hydration.
- Jim JohnsonPractice rather than preach. Make of your life an affirmation, defined by your ideals, not the negation of others. Dare to the level of your capability then go beyond to a higher level.
- Alexander HaigPractice yourself what you preach.
- Titus Maccius PlautusI don`t want to just preach to the church. I feel like I have a broader message.
- Joel OsteenI made a decision when my father passed away that I was going to be who God made me to be and not try to preach like my father.
- Joel OsteenThe Church, presumably in the person of Cardinal O`Connor, had at one time refused to let the Governor preach in certain churches and school halls.
- Wellington MaraI teach the twins because I generally don`t trust school districts. The districts force the teachers to preach about equality while portraying white people in an incredibly negative light, so that they make white people feel embarrassed and ashamed to be from European ancestry. That`s not what I want my kids go grow up thinking.
- April GaedePreach not to others what they should eat, but eat as becomes you, and be silent.
- Abby OliverDo not let your deeds belie your words, lest when you speak in church someone may say to himself, `Why do you not practice what you preach?`
- Adrian CasanovaEach department and institution has its own authorities and responsibilities, and they act on that basis. It is wrong to even compare such actions to what is done in Guantanamo or elsewhere by the Americans. They do not stand on a high moral platform to preach to others.
- Ahmed MukhlefOne may preach a covenant of grace more clearly than another... But when they preach a covenant of works for salvation, that is not truth.
- Al AldridgeThey thought that I did conceive there was a difference between them and Mr. Cotton... I might say they might preach a covenant of works as did the apostles, but to preach a covenant of works and to be under a covenant of works is another business.
- Al AldridgeIt would be dangerous territory if I wasn`t practising what I preach which is to always accept responsibility, always accept the consequences of your actions.
- Alan ReidTo preach more than half an hour, a man should be an angel himself or have angels for hearers.
- Alex OkosiNever preach a sermon without a text from the Bible, a text containing the theme which you can elaborate. The text is the best proof in support of your argument. A sermon without a text is an argument without a proof.
- Alexis WaggonerThe IFP is here to put into practice what we preach.
- Alvin RosenfeldPreach not because you have to say something, but because you have something to say.
- Ana NavarroTo preach the Gospel requires that the preacher should believe that he is sent to those whom he is addressing at the moment, because God has among them those whom He is at the moment calling; it requires that the speaker should expect a response.
- Andre GoldIt is no use walking anywhere to preach unless our walking is our preaching.
- Andrea WrightPreach the Gospel at all times and when necessary use words.
- Andrea WrightWhy do you not practice what you preach.
- Andrea YergerI don`t preach a social gospel; I preach the Gospel, period. The gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ is concerned for the whole person. When people were hungry, Jesus didn`t say, "Now is that political or social?" He said, "I feed you." Because the good news to a hungry person is bread.
- Angel AcebesWe try to preach being physical,
- Anthony ThompsonThere`s a time for everything, the Bible says. There`s a time when we preach judgement, but there`s also a time when we teach grace, mercy, love and hope and I think we`re in a time when we preach the love, grace, mercy and hope.
- Ashutosh PandeyWe have, in fact, two kinds of morality side by side; one which we preach but do not practice, and another which we practice but seldom preach.
- Bertrand RussellWe have, in fact, two kinds of morality side by side: one which we preach but do not practice, and another which we practice but seldom preach.
