Ignorance

  • "Lack of knowledge is darker than night."
  • "An ignorant man is always a slave."
  • "Whoever works without knowledge works uselessly."
  • "Ignorantia non est argumentum."
    • --Baruch Spinoza
    • Translation: "Ignorance is no argument."
    • Source: Ethica ordine geometrico demonstrata et in quinque parses distincta, Part 1, Addendum; Amsterdam, 1677.
    • Originally used to oppose traditional theological views that everything exists and is determined by divine intervention because no other plausible reason or explanation is seen.

  • "If ignorance is bliss, you must be the happiest man alive."
  • deliberately breaking rules is fine;
ignoring them is not -- ignorance is bad. -- from wikipedia
