"You can't tell anyone anything. You have..." - Quote by Benjamin Franklin
You can't tell anyone anything. You have to teach people for them to remember. Let the person experience what you are teaching and they will learn.

More on Learning
“The only things you learn are the things you tame”
“The only victories which leave no regret are those which are gained over ignorance.”
“Just because I like sushi, doesn't mean I can make sushi. I've come to well understand how many years just to get sushi rice correct. It's a discipline that takes years and years and years. So, I leave that to the experts.”
More on Teaching
“Being a teacher is like being in jail; once it's on your record, you can never get rid of it.”
“If I was to be their real teacher and guardian, I must touch their hearts, I must share their joys and sorrows, I must help them to solve the problems that faced them, and I must take along the right channel the surging aspirations of their youth.”
“I am afraid that we are beginning to be over-educated; at least everybody who is incapable of learning has taken to teaching -that is really what our enthusiasm for education has come to.”
