“We should not go to the people and say, "Here we are. We come to give you the charity of our presence, to teach you our science, to show you your errors, your lack of culture, your ignorance of elementary things."

“To confess your fallibility and then do nothing about it is not humble; it is boasting of your modesty.”

“You have got nothing to fear except the ignorance of your intelligence or lack of knowledge.”

“[…]they feel the fear of not having money. Instead of confronting the fear, they react instead of think.”

“Beware:
Ignorance
Protects itself
Ignorance
Promotes suspicion.
Suspicion
Engenders fear.
Fear quails,
Irrational and blind,
Or fear looms,
Defiant and closed.
Blind, closed,
Suspicious, afraid,
Ignorance
Protects itself,
And protected,
Ignorance grows.”

“Today's a new day. It's your day. You shape it. Don't let it be shaped by someone else's ignorance or fear.”

“Wisdom tends to grow in proportion to one's awareness of one's ignorance.”

“Ignorance is the parent of fear.”
