Tell me and I'll forget. Show me, and I may not remember. Involve me, and I'll understand.

several sources say this is a Chinese proverb, and one source I found said it is a Native American saying. I could find no specific origin however.

Answer 2

“Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember. Involve me and I learn.” This is my favourite quote at all times. This quote was from Benjamin Franklin (an American Politician), he was born 17/01/1906 and died in 17/04/1790, he had more than 900+ quotes.

Answer 3

I have always thought/been told that it was a Chinese proverb.

Tell me, I’ll forget

Show me, I’ll remember

Involve me, I’ll understand
