Excite and direct the self-activities of the pupil, and as a rule tell him nothing that he can learn himself. - John Milton Gregory, The Seven Laws of Teaching.

Tell me and I forget; show me and I remember; involve me and I understand. - Confucius.

"It is almost impossible for me to read contemporary mathematicians who, instead of saying, 'Petya washed his hands,' write simply: 'There is a $t_{1}<0$ such that the image of $t_{1}$ under the natural mapping $t_{1}\mapsto\text{Petya}(t_{1})$ belongs to the set of dirty hands, and a $t_{2}, t_{1}<t_{2}\le 0$, such that the image of $t_{2}$ under the above-mentioned mapping belongs to the complement of the set defined in the preceding sentence.' " - V. I. Arnol'd

No idea what to do with myself :/
