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

Young children were sooner allured by love, than driven by beating, to attain good learning.

He hazardeth much who depends for his learning on experience. An unhappy master, he that is only made wise by many shipwrecks; a miserable merchant, that is neither rich nor wise till he has been bankrupt. By experience we find out a short way by a long wandering.

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.

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

A man reacheth not to excellence with one language.
