If you don't ask the right questions, you don't get the right answers. A question asked in the right way often points to its own answer. Asking questions is the ABC of diagnosis. Only the inquiring mind solves problems.

Edward Hodnett

If you don't ask the right questions, I can't give you the answers, and if you don't know the right question to ask, you're not ready for the answers

Ed Parker

We do not ask the right questions when we are young, so we miss the important answers. Now it is too late to ask, too late for the illuminating answers, and the unanswered questions haunt us for a lifetime.

Peter Abrahams

It is the function of a liberal university not to give right answers, but to ask right questions.

Cynthia Ozick

Ask the right questions if you're going to find the right answers.

Vanessa Redgrave

It is not that we don't know the right answers, it is just that we don't ask the right questions.

Tony Robbins

Ask the right questions if you're to find the right answers.

Vanessa Redgrave

Asking the right questions takes as much skill as giving the right answers.

Robert Half

An expert knows all the answers - if you ask the right questions.

Levi Strauss

To gain knowledge, we must learn to ask the right questions; and to get answers, we must act, not wait for answers to occur to us.

Anatol Rapoport

The answers are all out there, we just need to ask the right questions.

Oscar Wilde

When people ask me what philosophy is, I say philosophy is what you do when you don't know what the right questions are yet. Once you get the questions right, then you go answer them, and that's typically not philosophy, that's one science or another. Anywhere in life where you find that people aren't quite sure what the right questions to ask are, what they're doing, then, is philosophy.

Daniel Dennett

Ask the right questions, and the answers will always reveal themselves.

Oprah Winfrey

Language was invented to ask questions. Answers may be given by grunts and gestures, but questions must be spoken. Humanness came of age when man asked the first question. Social stagnation results not from a lack of answers but from the absence of the impulse to ask questions.
