Galileo GalileiYou cannot teach a man anything, you can only help him find it within himself.
About This Quote
Life has a way of teaching us things that we do not need to learn, but which we should. The more we learn the more we realise that there is a great deal that is hidden from us, and that at times we really do not know as much as we think we do. Some people have a great deal of knowledge within them, but they are so afraid of being laughed at by others that they never share their wisdom or try to teach others. Others have great minds and they wish to share what they have learned with others. In either case, the only way to share their knowledge is by finding it within themselves.
