{{Short description|Latin proverb}} {{Italic title}} '''{{Lang|la|Docendo discimus}}''' is a Latin proverb meaning "by teaching, we learn."
It is perhaps derived from Seneca the Younger ({{circa|4 BC}} – 65 AD), who says in his ''Letters to Lucilius'' (Book I, letter 7, section 8): ''Homines dum docent discunt.'', meaning "People learn while they teach."
