We remember nothing so well when we be old as those things which we learned when we were young; and this is not strange but common in all nature's works. Every man sees, as I said before, new wax is best for printing, new clay fittest for working, new shorn wool aptest for soon and surest dyeing, new fresh flesh for good and durable salting. And this similitude is not rude nor borrowed of the larder house, but out of his schoolhouse, of whom the wisest of England need not be ashamed to learn. - Roger Sachem: 'The schoolmaster' (1570).
