Docendo discimus
From Infogalactic: the planetary knowledge core
Docendo discimus, (Latin "by teaching, we learn") is a Latin proverb.
Perhaps derived from Seneca the Younger (c. 4 BC – 65 AD), who says in his Letters to Lucilius, Book I, letter 7, section 8: Homines dum docent discunt. "Men learn while they teach."
