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

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

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

The function of the artist in a disturbed society is to give awareness of the universe, to ask the right questions, and to elevate the mind.

Marina Abramovic

The scientific mind does not so much provide the right answers as ask the right questions.

Claude Levi-Strauss

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 going to find the right answers.

Vanessa Redgrave

Questions are like gifts - it's the thought behind them that the receiver really feels. We have to know the receiver to give the right gift and to ask the right question. Generic gifts and questions are all right, but personal gifts and questions feel better.

Glennon Doyle Melton

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

Vanessa Redgrave

The wise man doesn't give the right answers, he poses the right questions.

Claude Levi-Strauss

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

In a way, math isn't the art of answering mathematical questions, it is the art of asking the right questions, the questions that give you insight, the ones that lead you in interesting directions, the ones that connect with lots of other interesting questions -the ones with beautiful answers.

Gregory Chaitin

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
