Good choice Argi, I much prefer to know nothing rather than everything. Some people know everything and this is all they know :)
And now to clarify what we know and don't know, Donald Rumsfeld "...there are no "knowns". There are things we know that we know. There are known unknowns. That is to say there are things that we now know we don't know. But there are also unknown unknowns. There are things we do not know we don't know.

Thomas Edison also said a few things along the same lines:
"Many of life's failures are experienced by people who did not realize how close they were to success when they gave up."
"Nearly every man who develops an idea works it up to the point where it looks impossible, and then he gets discouraged. That's not the place to become discouraged. "
"Our greatest weakness lies in giving up. The most certain way to succeed is always to try just one more time. "
