Nothing in all the world is more dangerous than sincere ignorance and conscientious stupidity.
- Martin Luther King Jr.
If you think education is expensive, try ignorance.
- Bumper Sticker
Better be unborn than untaught, for ignorance is the root of misfortune.
- Plato
It is poverty in a rich man to despise the poor and ignorance in a wise man to despise the ignorant.
- Constance C. Vigil
Ignorance is an enemy, even to its owner. Knowledge is a friend, even to its hater. Ignorance hates knowledge because it is too pure. Knowledge fears ignorance because it is too sure.
- Sri Chinmoy
Ignorance is not innocence but sin.
- Robert Browning
Teach self-denial and make its practice pleasure, and you can create for the world a destiny more sublime that ever issued from the brain of the wildest dreamer.
- Sir Walter Scott
The good neighbor looks beyond the external accidents and discerns those inner qualities that make all men human and, therefore, brothers.
Morality cannot be legislated, but behavior can be regulated. Judicial decrees may not change the heart, but they can restrain the heartless.
Philanthropy is commendable but it must not cause the philanthropist to overlook the circumstances of economic injustice which make philanthropy necessary.
Those who are not looking for happiness are the most likely to find it, because those who are searching forget that the surest way to be happy is to seek happiness for others.
I refuse to accept the idea that the isness of man’s present nature makes him morally incapable of reaching up for the oughtness that forever confronts him.
