I read few years ago a quote that goes a little bit like this:

"When you want to teach something, teach it with humor"

or

"If you want to make someone understand something, say it with humor"

Something like this. This is not the exact quote. I am looking for the exact quote and the author.

Thanks for your help in advance!

Welcome to Quoteland.
Not much luck finding this.
quote:
“A lesson taught with humor is a lesson retained.”
~ Talmud (according to Dr. Ruth Westheimer)

“I’m really into wit and humor. The people who were most effective infected their teaching with wit and humor that stuck.”
~ Pamela Peeke

A cross-eyed teacher can keep twice the number of children in order than any other, because the pupils do not know who she's looking at.
~ Four Hundred Laughs: Or, Fun Without Vulgarity, compiled and edited by John R. Kemble, 1902

Humor brings insight and tolerance. Irony brings a deeper and less friendly understanding.
~ Agnes Repplier
