1 where ignorance is bliss 'tis folly to be wise
посл."там, где неведение - благо, глупо быть мудрым" (ср. чего не знаешь, за то не отвечаешь; знать не знаешь, так и вины нет) [выражение создано Т. Греем (Th. Gray, 1716-71):No more; where ignorance is bliss,Looking back on this telescoping of time, one wonders if the government or du Pont company would have pushed ahead with plans for mammoth plants had they fully appreciated the nature of the unknown territory which the scientists were then exploring. Perhaps this was a good illustration of the saying: ‘Where ignorance is bliss, 'tis folly to be wise’. (R. E. Lapp, ‘Atoms and People’, ch. III) — Сейчас мы задумываемся над тем, действовали бы правительство и компания "Дюпон" так же решительно и энергично, готовя планы строительства гигантских атомных заводов, если бы они ясно понимали, что представляет собой та неизведанная область, в которую тогда еще только вступили исследователи. Пожалуй, все это может послужить хорошей иллюстрацией к пословице: "Там, где неведение - благо, глупо быть мудрым"
