To be proud of learning is the greatest ignorance.-Jeremy Taylor.
Nothing is so indieative of deepest culture as a tender considera- tion of the ignorant-Emerson.
If thou art wise, thou knowest thine own ignorance; and thou art ignorant if thou knowest not thyself--Luther.
It is with nations us with individuals, those who know the least

Have the courage to be ignorant of a great number of things, in order to avold the calamity of being ignorant of everything. Sydney Smith.
Innorance is a prolonged infancy, only deprived of its charm.- Boufers.
A man is never astonished or ashamed that he does not know what another does; but he is surprised at the gross ignorance of the other in not knowing what he knows-Haliburton.
Nothing is so good for an ignorant man as silence; and if he was sensible of this he would nöl be ignorant--Sandi-
There is no slight danger from general ignorance; and the only choice which Providence has graciously left to a vicious government is either to fall by the people, if they are suffered to become enlightened, or with them, if they are kept ignorant-Coleridge.
