Thomas Jefferson on Ignorance
← Back to Thomas Jefferson Profile
“If a nation expects to be ignorant and free, in a state of civilization, it expects what never was and never will be.”
“Ignorance is preferable to error, and he is less remote from the truth who believes nothing than he who believes what is wrong.”
“Bigotry is the disease of ignorance, of morbid minds; enthusiasm of the free and buoyant. Education & free discussion are the antidotes of both.”
