Roger Ascham

He that will write well in any tongue, must follow this counsel of Aristotle, to speak as the common people do, to think as wise men do: and so should every man understand him, and the judgment of wise men allow him.

The least learned, for the most part, have been always most ready to write.

Learning teacheth more in one year than experience in twenty.

It is costly wisdom that is bought by experience.

By experience we find out a short way by a long wandering.

There is no such whetstone, to sharpen a good wit and encourage a will to learning, as is praise.

In mine opinion, love is fitter than fear, gentleness better than beating, to bring up a child rightly in learning.
