Sentiment: NEGATIVE
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.
True, a little learning is a dangerous thing, but it still beats total ignorance.
Being ignorant is not so much a shame, as being unwilling to learn.

Even knowledge has to be in the fashion, and where it is not, it is wise to affect ignorance.
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.
An ignorant person is one who doesn't know what you have just found out.
People can be ignorant and still have loving, human qualities.
Nothing is more terrible than to see ignorance in action.
