Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
Only a fool would be truly unaware of how little they know, therefore assume they know it all!.

I wise person, even a well educated one, would know for sure how much there is to learn beyond that of their own understanding!.

This is possibly the most true statement out there!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

If you ask me, there's no difference between a wise person and a fool - the wise person knows he is but a fool!. The fool thinks he is wise but then he is - except he misses out on the circular reasoning the wise person has already pondered!.

So even if one is wise, and acknowledges he is a fool - he is still a fool, because fools are wise!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

A fool thinks himself intelligent, a wise person knows better!.
There is so much knowledge available, that nobody can know it all, or even a majority of it!. One should be aware of the fact that there is much which will remain unknown to him!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

hahahahaha, read my answer to your previous question!.
and sometimes nothing really helps a fool to acknowledge their stupidity!. the first step to intelligence is to be fully aware of your stupidity!.!.!. most of the fools never reach that level!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I think the term is pig ignorant!.
The ones I hate the most are the ones who get you in to do a job,then tell you how it should be done-idiots!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

oh yeah and they tend to be very stubborn and it becomes really annoying!.!.!.cause after all there are no limits to knowledge and there is not such things as "know it all" but only wise people know that!Www@QuestionHome@Com

the more I know!.!.!.the more I discover how ignorant I amWww@QuestionHome@Com
