It's not what we don't know that gets us in trouble, it's what we know for sure that just ain't so.

America is becoming so educated that ignorance will be a novelty. I will belong to the select few. Without education, we are in a horrible and deadly danger of taking educated people seriously. When you combine ignorance and leverage, you get some pretty interesting results. Nothing is so firmly believed as what we least know. When ignorance does not know something, it says that what it does not know is stupid. He knows nothing; he thinks he knows everything - that clearly points to a political career. Truth is by nature self-evident. As soon as you remove the cobwebs of ignorance that surround it, it shines clear. Facts do not cease to exist because they are ignored. Beware of false knowledge; it is more dangerous than ignorance.
