Docendo discimus

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Docendo discimus, (Latin by teaching, we learn). Seneca the Younger (c. 4 BC – 65 AD) says in his letters to Lucilius Junior that we are learning if we teach (epistulae morales I, 7, 8). Docendo discimus is the motto of Stranmillis University College in Belfast, Northern Ireland, the University of Chichester in West Sussex, England, and Johnson State College at Johnson in the U.S. state of Vermont.
