Alice Wellington Rollins
The test of a good teacher is not how many questions he can ask his pupils that they will answer readily, but how many questions he inspires them to ask him which he finds it hard to answer.

Antony Jay
The uncreative mind can spot wrong answers, but it takes a very creative mind to spot wrong questions.

Arthur C. Clarke
I don't pretend we have all the answers. But the questions are certainly worth thinking about..

Arthur Miller
The job is to ask questions--it always was--and to ask them as inexorably as I can. And to face the absence of precise answers with a certain humility.

Bernard M. Baruch
Millions saw the apple fall, but Newton was the one who asked why.

Carl Rowen New Yorker Dec. 7, 1963
There aren't any embarrassing questions--just embarrassing answers.

Charles 'Chic' Thompson What a Great Idea!
At home, parents utter eighteen negative statements for every positive one--usually to an inquisitive child who wants to know how something works.

Charles Connolly
Questions focus our thinking. Ask empowering questions like: What's good about this? What's not perfect about it yet? What am I going to do next time? How can I do this and have fun doing it?

Charles Proteus Steinmetz
There are no foolish questions, and no man becomes a fool until he has stopped asking questions.

Claude Levi-Strauss The Raw and the Cooked
The scientific mind does not so much provide the right answers as ask the right questions.

Edmund Burke
The important thing is not to stop questioning. Curiosity has its own reasons for existing. One cannot help but be in awe when he contemplates the mysteries of eternity, of life, of the marvelous structure of reality. It is enough if one tries to comprehend a little of this mystery every day. Never lose a holy curiosity.

Ernest J. Gaines
Question everything. Every stripe, every star, every word spoken. Everything.

Florence Howe Hall The Correct Thing
It is not the correct thing to scold children for asking questions: this is about as reasonable as to scold them for breathing or thinking.

Fran Lebowitz
Children ask better questions than adults. May I have a cookie? Why is the sky blue? and What does a cow say? are far more likely to elicit a cheerful response than Where's your manuscript? Why haven't you called? and Who's your lawyer?

Francis Bacon
A prudent question is one-half of wisdom.

Frank A Garbutt
The man who questions opinion is wise; the man who quarrels with fact is a fool.

Frank Moore Colby Simple Simon The Colby Essays, v.1
Clever people seem not to feel the natural pleasure of bewilderment, and are always answering questions when the chief relish of a life is to go on asking them.

German Proverb
To question a wise man is the beginning of wisdom.

Gloria Steinem
The moment we find the reason behind an emotion ? the wall is breached, and the positive memories it has kept from us return too. That's why it pays to ask those painful questions. The answers can set you free.

Harper Lee
When a child asks you something, answer him, for goodness' sake. But don't make a production of it. Children are children, but they can spot an evasion quicker than adults, and evasion simply muddles 'em.
