I remember when I was young, in the north, they went to the grammar school little children: they came from thence great lubbers: always learning, and little profiting: learning without book everything, understanding within the book little or nothing."

"I said how, and why, young children, were sooner allured by love, than driven by beating, to attain good learning."

"To speak as the common people do, to think as wise men do is style."

It is costly wisdom that is bought by experience.

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