We must make no pretensions to secrets which we do not possess. Since what we do not know is so much more than what we do know, it is better to be humble and straightforwardly to say, "I do not know." It is then possible to learn, to amend our ignorance; but once we pose as holding a knowledge which in fact we do not hold, we put up the shutters of the mind and doom ourselves to continued darkness.
