Roger Ascham
  • 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.

  • Learning teacheth more in one year than experience in twenty.

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

  • Let the master praise him, and say, 'Here ye do well.' For, I assure you, there is no such whetstone to sharpen a good wit, and encourage a will to learning, as is praise.
