Never argue
with stupid people,
they will drag you down
to their level
and then beat you
with experience.

If 50 million people say
a foolish thing,
it is still
a foolish thing.

Be satisfied
with your opinions
and content
with your knowledge.

it is more dangerous
than ignorance.

but ignorance of ignorance,
is the death of knowledge.

is a privilege
of uneducated
minds and fanatics.
It is,
for scientific folk,
an unattainable ideal.

One of the painful things
about our time is
that those
who feel certainty
are stupid,
and those
with any imagination
and understanding
are filled
with doubt and indecision.

The more quotes I read about ignorance, the more knowledgeable I become about the depth of my ignorance.
