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"

advice is something the wise don't need and the fools won't take all great minds run in the same channel all men are fools, but the wisest of fools are called philosophers better an empty purse than an empty head a big head means a big headache bought wisdom is best if you don't pay too dear for it entertain no thoughts which you would blush at in words the doors of wisdom are never shut a flow of words is no proof of wisdom the fool wonders; the wise man asks go where he will, a wise man is always at home happy is the man who finds wisdom and gets understanding he who questions nothing learns nothing high living, low thinking if what men most admire they would despise, it would look like mankind were growing wise it is easy to be wise after the event it needs great wisdom to play the fool little hair, much wit know thyself knowledge and wisdom are far from being one men talk wisely but live foolishly nine-tenths of wisdom consists in being wise in time no man can be always wise no man is born wise or learned one good head is better than a thousand strong hands one hears only what he understands popular opinion is the greatest lie in the world riches serve a wise man but command a fool so many men, so many minds speech is the gift of all but the thought of few a still tongue makes a wise head two heads are better than one where all think alike, no one thinks very much where ignorance is bliss 'tis folly to be wise wisdom doesn't always speak in Greek and Latin wisdom goes not always by years wisdom in a poor man is a diamond set in lead wisdom is ever a blessing, education is sometimes a curse wisdom is the wealth of the wise a wise man changes his mind; a fool never does a wise man is strong a wise man will make more opportunities than he finds a wise man's day is worth a fool's life wise men care not for what they cannot have wise men learn by other men's mistakes; fools insist on learning by their own a word to the wise words are the wise man's counters and the fool's moneyEnglish-Ukrainian dictionary of proverbs > _розум; мудрість; думка
