Quotes by James Nathan Miller

“There is no such thing as a worthless conversation, provided you know what to listen for. And questions are the breath of life for a conversation.”

“You can tell whether a man is clever by his answers. You can tell whether a man is wise by his questions.”

“Socrates, you will remember, asked all the important questions - but he never answered any of them”

“You dont want a million answers as much as you want a few forever questions. The questions are diamonds you hold in the light. Study a lifetime and you see different colors from the same jewel.”

“Questioning is the door of knowledge”

“Openly questioning the way the world works and challenging the power of the powerful is not an activity customarily rewarded.”

“The power to question is the basis of all human progress.”
