In mine opinion, love is fitter than fear, gentleness better than beating, to bring up a child rightly in learning.
Twenty to one offend more in writing too much than too little.
There is no such whetstone, to sharpen a good wit and encourage a will to learning, as is praise.
Learning teacheth more in one year than experience in twenty.
It is costly wisdom that is brought by experience.
It is a pity that, commonly, more care is had--yea, and that among very wise men--to find out rather a cunning man for their horse than a cunning man for their children.
