Socrates
No tools will make a man a skilled workman, or master of defence, nor be of any use to him who has not learned how to handle them, and has never bestowed any attention upon them. How then will he who takes up a shield or other implement of war become a good fighter all in a day, whether with heavy-armed or any other kind of troops?

Glaucon
Yes, the tools which would teach men their own use would be beyond price.
-- Plato, The Republic, Book II
