Quote by Elbert Hubbard

The recipe for perpetual ignorance is: Be satisfied with your opinions and content with your knowledge.

The recipe for perpetual ignorance is: Be satisfied with you

Summary

This quote suggests that remaining ignorant indefinitely is as easy as being complacent with one's beliefs and not seeking further knowledge. It implies that when people are content with their opinions and satisfied with what they already know, they hinder their own personal growth and understanding. By discouraging curiosity and intellectual exploration, this mindset perpetuates ignorance and prevents individuals from expanding their horizons or gaining a deeper understanding of the world around them.
