" Judge of a man by his questions rather than by his answers. "

Questioning is the key to intelligence. Everyone can provide an answer to the type of question being asked. But if you know to ask the right kind of questions, it speaks a lot about your personality.

One should not judge a person by his reply to a particular discussion but rather by what kind of query that person is communicating. An inquisitive mind is never satisfied by the understanding and they keep hunting for more knowledge. But asking questions does not mean that you must ask silly doubts, it should be relevant and must express your opinions.

So, don't judge a man by his answers, but observe the kind of questions he holds on to.
