Vladimir Lenin
Russian - Leader
April 22, 1870 - January 21, 1924

It is commonly, but erroneously, believed that it is easy to ask questions. A fool, it is said, can ask questions that a wise man cannot answer. The fact is that a wise man can answer many questions that a fool cannot ask.

Cassius Jackson Keyser

There are many questions which fools can ask that wise men cannot answer.

George Polya

A wise man can learn more from a foolish question than a fool can learn from a wise answer.

Bruce Lee

One fool will deny more truth in half an hour than a wise man can prove in seven years.

Coventry Patmore

Younger generations, they ask more questions, like on a recipe. But they ask them online. If my staff doesn't know how to answer it, I will answer.

Lidia Bastianich

In examinations the foolish ask questions that the wise cannot answer.

Oscar Wilde

There are questions I'm still not wise enough to answer, just wise enough to no longer ask.

George Jones

Remember that the greatest fool in the world may ask more than the wisest man can answer.

Bryant H. McGill

Most people ask questions because they want to know the answer; lawyers are trained never to ask questions unless they already know the answer.

Lani Guinier

Writers always sound insufferably smug when they sit back and assert that their job is only to ask questions and not to answer them. But, in good part, it is true. And once you become committed to one particular answer, your freedom to ask new questions is seriously impaired.

David Hare

Cato used to assert that wise men profited more by fools than fools by wise men; for that wise men avoided the faults of fools, but that fools would not imitate the good examples of wise men.

Plutarch

Examinations are formidable even to the best prepared, for the greatest fool may ask more than the wisest man can answer.

Charles Caleb Colton

I believe that good questions are more important than answers, and the best children's books ask questions, and make the readers ask questions. And every new question is going to disturb someone's universe.

Madeleine L'Engle

It's the questions we ask, the journey we take to get to where we are going that is more important than the actual answer.

Charles de Lint

I've been both a journalist and a politician, and I can tell you it is more fun to ask the questions than have to answer them.

Michael Ignatieff

... No photograph ever was good, yet, of anybody - hunger and thirst and utter wretchedness overtake the outlaw who invented it! It transforms into desperadoes the weakest of men; depicts sinless innocence upon the pictured faces of ruffians; gives the wise man the stupid leer of a fool, and the fool an expression of more than earthly wisdom.

Mark Twain
