In friendship, as in love, we are often happier through our ignorance than our knowledge.

More on Ignorance
“I never had that feeling that I had to carry the weight of somebody's ignorance around with me. And that was true for racists who wanted to use the 'n' word when talking about me or about my people, or the stupidity of people who really wanted to belittle other folks because they weren't pretty or they weren't rich or they weren't clever.”
“If you had made the acquiring of ignorance the study of your life, you could not have graduated with higher honor than you could to-day.”
“In friendship as well as love, ignorance very often contributes more to our happiness than knowledge.”
More on Happiness
“I grew convinced that truth, sincerity and integrity in dealings between man and man were of the utmost importance to the felicity of life, and I formed written resolutions . . . to practice them ever while I lived.”
“I take happiness very seriously. It is a creed, a philosophy and an objective.”
“We don’t need more money, we don’t need greater success or fame, we don’t need the perfect body or even the perfect mate-right now, at this very moment, we have a mind, which is all the basic equipment we need to achieve complete happiness.”
