No one is so completely disenchanted with the world, or knows it so thoroughly, or is so utterly disgusted with it, that when it begins to smile upon him he does not become partially reconciled to it.

One of the greatest joys known to man is to take a flight into ignorance in search of knowledge.

It is in his knowledge that man has found his greatness and his happiness, the high superiority which he holds over the other animals who inhabit the earth with him, and consequently no ignorance is probably without loss to him, no error without evil.

The man who can smile when things go wrong has thought of someone else he can blame it on.

The man who realizes his ignorance has taken the first step toward knowledge.

A person is never happy except at the price of some ignorance.

Ignorance is the softest pillow on which a man can rest his head.

I have never met a man so ignorant that I couldn't learn something from him.

It is impossible to make people understand their ignorance, for it requires knowledge to perceive it; and, therefore, he that can perceive it hath it not.

Stupidity often saves a man from going mad.
