Ignorance and power and pride are a deadly mixture, you know.

By ignorance is pride increased; Those most assume who know the least

Pride can destroy a man quicker than ignorance.

The whole family of pride and ignorance are incestuous, and mutually beget each other

Ignorance is king. Many would not profit by his abdication. Many enrich themselves by means of his dark monarchy. They are his Court, and in his name they defraud and govern, enrich themselves and perpetuate their power.

[Pride and power] are the same except that pride leaves the lights on and power can do it in the dark.
