I have a quote that has been attributed to Benjamin Franklin all over the place, but I'm having a hard time finding the actual speech, book, article, letter or whatever was the actual source of the quote. Anyone have any suggestions of a good website or search terms I could use? Oh, if this helps, the quote is: "Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember. Involve me and I learn." Thank you for any help you can offer!
I'm wondering if you can't find it because it really belongs to someone else? Here's one that sounds very similar: http://quotes.liberty-tree.ca/quote/confucius_quote_ef11 "Tell me and I forget. Show me and I remember. Let me do and I understand." I've also noticed a bit of a tendency for political leaders to take credit for a quote that REALLY is just a quote of someone else, tweaked a teeny tiny bit. Wondering if that might be the case here as well? I love that site for other quotes as well. adding: I am seeing on the internet where your quote is attributed to Franklin. Will keep looking
