We live on an island surrounded by a sea of ignorance. As our island of knowledge grows, so does the shore of our ignorance. 648
They say a little knowledge is a dangerous thing, but it’s not one half so bad as a lot of ignorance. 648
Suppose that we are wise enough to learn and know – and yet not wise enough to control our learning and knowledge, so that we use it to destroy ourselves? Even if that is so, knowledge remains better than ignorance. 608
The learning and knowledge that we have, is, at the most, but little compared with that of which we are ignorant. 585
Entire ignorance is not so terrible or extreme an evil, and is far from being the greatest of all; too much cleverness and too much learning, accompanied with ill bringing-up, are far more fatal. 2.34K
