    Hi,


    I need to reference this quote in my essay 'Tell me and I will forget, show me and I will remember, involve me and I will understand'. I just heard of it before, on the Internet it suggests Aristotle, Benjamin Franklin or just that it is a Chinese Proverb, however the sites these are on dont seem very reliable.
    Any help would be great!
