Conversation is like making love; the man is the question, the woman the answer, and the union of both will bear fruit.
Never has a man more need of his intelligence than when a fool asks him a question.
One of the hallmarks of great teachers is that they rejoice when their students surpass them. Encouraging an atmosphere of questioning and inviting people to grow within your classroom isn’t necessarily easy; which must explain why people who want ...
