..and wisdom:

A classic quote on wisdom and ignorance is from Socrates, stating, "The only true wisdom is in knowing you know nothing". Other notable quotes include, "Beware of false knowledge; it is more dangerous than ignorance" by George Bernard Shaw, and Benjamin Franklin's assertion that "The doorstep to the temple of wisdom is a knowledge of our own ignorance".
Here are a few more quotes about wisdom and ignorance:

"Education is a progressive discovery of our own ignorance" – Will Durant

"The greatest obstacle to discovery is not ignorance — It's the illusion of knowledge" – Daniel Boorstin

"To admit ignorance is to exhibit wisdom" – Ashley Montague

..and I'm sure there's more where that comes from.. but I'm ignorant.
