As I have known in the last many years of English teaching, "Practice Makes Perfect" is in its noun-form; whereas "The more one practises, the better it would be" is a verb. Yet, when a "native" English may commit any mistakes, not the NON-natives. Being an English teacher, we have the responsibility of telling the students the correct uses, but also let them to know the irregularities.

The difference between practice (Amer.) and practise (Brit.) is spelling only. Both can be used the same in a sentence.
Advice is opinion that is offered or given to you, while advise is to offer or give the opinion to someone else.
'The man advised me to take the A-train, so I took his advice.'
