Ignorance is an evil weed, which dictators may cultivate among their dupes, but which no democracy can afford among its citizens.

Ignorance is the failure to discriminate between the permanent and the impermanent, the pure and the impure, bliss and suffering, the Self and the non-Self.

Ignorance is bliss, or so we're told. Personally, I find ignorance is also destiny.

Not ignorance, but ignorance of ignorance, is the death of knowledge.

An ignorance of means may minister to greatness, but an ignorance of aims make it impossible to be great at all.

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.

If a nation expects to be ignorant and free, in a state of civilization, it expects what never was and never will be.

Not engaging in ignorance is wisdom.

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.

Ignorance is the curse of God; knowledge is the wing wherewith we fly to heaven.
