ignorance

The greater the ignorance the greater the dogmatism.

Ignorance is the cause of fear. -Timendi causa est nescire

Must helpless man, in ignorance sedate, Roll darkling down the torrent of his fate?

Our souls may lose their peace and even disturb other people's, if we are always criticizing trivial actions - which often are not real defects at all, but we construe them wrongly through our ignorance of their motives.

There is no slavery but ignorance.

Slavery is but half abolished, emancipation is but half completed, while millions of freemen with votes in their hands are left without education. Justice to them, the welfare of the States in which they live, the safety of the whole Republic, the dignity of the elective franchise, - all alike demand that the still remaining bonds of ignorance shall be unloosed and broken, and the minds as well as the bodies of the emancipated go free.

For "ignorance is the mother of devotion," as all the world knows.

And I have written three books on the soul, Proving absurd all written hitherto, And putting us to ignorance again.

For I say this is death and the sole death,- When a man's loss comes to him from his gain, Darkness from light, from knowledge ignorance, And lack of love from love made manifest.
