• "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.“
• "In mine opinion, love is fitter than fear, gentleness better than beating, to bring up a child rightly in learning.“
• "It is costly wisdom that is bought by experience.“
