I've heard this before but just came across it again and thought I'd post it here:

The difference between theory and practice is this:

In theory, theory is the same as in practice. In practice, it isn't.

I had that quote printed out and pasted above my monitor for a while. Unfortunately, in one of my toward-or-away-from-college moves, it got lost...

I only heard of the German version which is kinda similar:

Der Unterschied zwischen Theorie und Praxis ist in der Praxis größer als in der Theorie.
