"To conceal ignorance is to increase it...." - Quote by Mahatma Gandhi
To conceal ignorance is to increase it. An honest confession of it, however, gives ground for the hope that it will diminish some day or the other.

More on Ignorance
“The animal is ignorant of the fact that he knows. The man is aware of the fact that he is ignorant.”
“All you've got to do is own up to your ignorance honestly, and you'll find people who are eager to fill your head with information.”
“I do not approve of anything that tampers with natural ignorance. Ignorance is like a delicate exotic fruit; touch it and the bloom is gone. The whole theory of modern education is radically unsound. Fortunately in England, at any rate, education produces no effect whatsoever. If it did, it would prove a serious danger to the upper classes, and probably lead to acts of violence in Grosvenor Square.”
More on Honesty
“Speak to me as to thy thinkings,As thou dost ruminate, and give thy worst of thoughtsThe worst of words.”
“Before us lie two paths - honesty and dishonesty. The shortsighted embark on the dishonest path; the wise on the honest. For the wise know the truth; in helping others we help ourselves; and in hurting others we hurt ourselves. Character overshadows money, and trust rises above fame. Honesty is still the best policy.”
“Silence is worse; all truths that are kept silent become poisonous.”
