He that writes well in any language must take Aristotle's advice, to speak like the common people, and to think as wise men think.

Roger Ascham.

In our forefathers' time...few books were read in our tongue, saving certain books of Chivalry...as one for example, Morte Arthure: the whole pleasure of which book standeth in two special points, in open manslaughter, and bold bawdry: In which book those be counted the noblest Knights, that do kill most men without any quarrel, and commit foulest adulteries by subtlest shifts...This is good stuff for wise men to laugh at, or honest men to take pleasure at. Yet I know, when God's Bible was banished the Court, and Morte Arthure received into the Prince's chamber.

Roger Ascham , The Schoolmaster (1570)

Nie ma takiej osełki, która lepiej wyostrzałaby umysł i zachęcałaby do zdobywania wiedzy niż pochwała.

Yet nevertheless, the rudeness of common and mother tongues is no bar for wise speaking. For in the rudest country, and most barbarous mother language, many be found can speak very wisely; but in the Greek and Latin tongue, the only two learned tongues, which be kept, not in common talk, but in private books, we find always wisdom and eloquence, good matter and good utterance never or seldom asunder.

-Ascham, The Scholemaster
