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.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
The learning and knowledge that we have, is, at the most, but little compared with that of which we are ignorant.
Ignorance of all things is an evil neither terrible nor excessive, nor yet the greatest of all; but great cleverness and much learning, if they be accompanied by a bad training, are a much greater misfortune.
It is no good to try to stop knowledge from going forward. Ignorance is never better than knowledge.
