We must not contradict, but instruct him that contradicts us; for a madman is not cured by another running mad also.

What's a' your jargon o' your schools.
Your Latin names for horns and stools;
If honest nature made you fools.

Holland, France, England, Germany or Spain,
pray ye flog them upon all occasions,
It mends their morals, never mind the pain.
Btkon—Don Juan. Canto II. St. 1.
’Tis pleasing to be school'd in a strange tongue
By female lips and eyes—that is, I mean,
When both the teacher and the taught are young,
As was the case, at least, where I have been;
They smile so when one's right; and when one's
wrong
They smile still more.

| text = <poem>The twig is so easily bended
I have banished the rule and the rod:
I have taught them the goodness of knowledge,
They have taught me the goodness of God;
My heart is the dungeon of darkness,
Where I shut them for breaking a rule;
My frown is sufficient correction;
My love is the law of the school.
Charles M. Dickinson—The Children.
There is no teaching until the pupil is brought
into the same state or principle in which you
are; a transfusion takes place; he is you, and
you are he; there is a teaching; and by no unfriendly chance or bad company can he ever
quite lose the benefit.
Emerson—Essays. Of Spiritual Laws.
Instruction does not prevent waste of time or
mistakes; and mistakes themselves are often the
best teachers of all.
Froude—Short Studies on Great Subjects. Education.
A boy is better unborn than untaught.
Gascoigne.
Full well they laughed, with counterfeited glee,
At all his jokes, for many a joke had he:
Full well the busy whisper, circling round,
Convey'd the dismal tidings when he frown'd.

| work = Deserted Village. L. 201.
Grave is the Master's look; his forehead wears
Thick rows of wrinkles, prints of worrying cares:
Uneasy lies the heads of all that rule,
His worst of all whose kingdom is a school.
Supreme he sits; before the awful frown
That binds his brows the boldest eye goes down;
Not more submissive Israel heard and saw
At Sinai's foot the Giver of the Law.
Holmes—The School Boy.
Doctrina sed vim promovet insitam.
Instruction enlarges the natural powers of the mind.
Horace—Carmina. IV. 4. 33.
Fingit equum tenera docilem cervice magister
Ire viam qua monstret eques.
The trainer trains the docile horse to turn,
with his sensitive neck, whichever way the
rider indicates.
Horace—Epistles. Bk. I. 2. 64. ("Quam"
for "qua" in some texts.}})
