Ignorance can be cured. Stupid is forever.

Miriam

Stupidity cannot be cured. Stupidity is the only universal capital crime; the sentence is death. There is no appeal, and execution is carried out automatically and without pity.

Robert A. Heinlein

Stupidity—The top of the list for Satanic Sins. The Cardinal Sin of Satanism. It’s too bad that stupidity isn’t painful. Ignorance is one thing, but our society thrives increasingly on stupidity. It depends on people going along with whatever they are told. The media promotes a cultivated stupidity as a posture that is not only acceptable but laudable. Satanists must learn to see through the tricks and cannot afford to be stupid.

Anton Szandor LaVey

Racism exists, but it is far less rampant than ignorance, and ignorance can be cured through experience.

Candace Owens

People's ignorance really pisses me off. Stupidity is when you can't help it -ignorance is when you choose not to understand something.

Sarah McLachlan

Avoidable human misery is more often caused not so much by stupidity as by ignorance, particularly our ignorance about ourselves.

Carl Sagan

Stupidity cannot be cured with money, or through education, or by legislation.

Robert A. Heinlein

I learnt the lesson on nonviolence from my wife, when I tried to bend her to my will. Her determined resistance to my will on the one hand, and her quiet submission to the suffering my stupidity involved on the other, ultimately made me ashamed of myself and cured me of my stupidity in thinking that I was born to rule over her.

Mahatma Gandhi

Ignorance can't be pardoned. Only cured.

Robert Silverberg

The world demands I make good choices on no information, and then blames my maidenhood for my mistakes, as if my maidenhood were responsible for my ignorance. Ignorance is not stupidity, but it might as well be. And I do not like feeling stupid.
