ASCHAM, Roger Quotes

(1515-1568), English author

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

Language

As a hawk flieth not high with one wing, even so a man reacheth not to excellence with one tongue.
