About This Quote

The least learned, for the most part, have been always most ready to write. This quote is a paraphrase of a line from a play by William Shakespeare called "The Taming of the Shrew". In it, a character named Petruchio says: "The least learned, for the most part, have been always most ready to write." In other words, those who have had the least amount of education have been the most eager to share their thoughts with others.
