As an entrepreneur and Mac user I regularly get asked questions, but it was not until I took at look at a handout list of questions that I began to think about the questions themselves. So here is a list of quote about questions that just might get you to thinking.
- A timid question will always receive a confident answer. Lord Darling
- To raise new questions, new possibilities, to regard old problems from a new angle, requires creative imagination and marks real advance in science. Albert Einstein
- Judge a man by his questions rather than his answers. Voltaire
- You see things; and you say, “Why”; But I dream things that never were; and I say, “Why not?” Karl Bismarck
- It is not every question that deserves an answer. Syrus (Publilius Syrus)
- Every clarification breeds new questions. Arthur Bloch
- A prudent question is one-half of wisdom. Francis Bacon
- The uncreative mind can spot wrong answers, but it takes a very creative mind to spot wrong questions. Anthony Jay
- You can tell whether a man is clever by his answers. You can tell whether a man is wise by his questions. Naquib Mahfouz
- Question everything. Learn something. Answer nothing. Engineer’s Motto

The event that I attended speaker had arranged the questions on the handout so that the answer of each one built onto the next one. Much like building a house, you start with the foundation. And each subsequent question was essential to getting stuff done.
If you don’t ask, you won’t get an answer.
What are your questions?
