«Ignorance more often begets confidence than knowledge.»

Ignorance more frequently begets confidence than does knowledge: it is those who know little, not those who know much, who so positively assert that this or that problem will never be solved by science.

«Ignorance more often begets confidence than knowledge.»
Charles Darwin

Ignorance and confidence are constant companions.

Ignorance is bold, and knowledge is reserved

It has often and confidently been asserted, that man's origin can never be known: but ignorance more frequently begets confidence than does knowledge: it is those who know little, and not those who know much, who so positively assert that this or that problem will never be solved by science.

Ignorance is not a simple lack of knowledge but an active aversion to knowledge, the refusal to know, issuing from cowardice, pride or laziness of mind.

It is not Wisdom, but Ignorance, which teaches men presumption; Genius may be sometimes arrogant, but nothing is so diffident as Knowledge.

Ignorance lies not in the things you don't know, but in the things you know that ain't so.

As in friendship so in love, we are often happier from ignorance than from knowledge.

Ignorance induces suspicion.

The biggest obstacle to learning is assuming you already know.
Confidence is usually ignorance.

It is ignorance that causes most mistakes.
