note (en-en)
I stumbled upon this pretty nice African proverb and I wonder what it's in other languages. I think it's originally a Nigerian proverb.
The English translation is:
"Not to know is bad. Not to wish to know is worse. "
in Spanish it is the same:
No saber es malo. No querer saber es peor.

Russian: Не знать плохо, не хотеть знать — еще хуже. The same as english and german and maybe other languages
