The profoundly wise do ordsprog

The profoundly wise do not declaim against superficial knowledge in others, as much as the profoundly ignorant.

Anyone who has ever walked up to The Moving Wall is part owner, for each person has left a little of themselves and taken with them a little of what they found there. To walk up to the Vietnam Veterans Memorial, or its extension through The Moving Wall, is profoundly an American experience; profoundly a human experience; profoundly a loving experience.

John Devitt

While some of us may know than others about certain things, it is the thinnest slice of all that is, or could be known.
In that sense, we are all profoundly ignorant.

Charles Osgood (1933-)

This is the best book ever written by any man on the wrong side of a question of which he is profoundly ignorant

Thomas Babington Macaulay (1800-1859)

I am ignorant and impotent and yet, somehow or other, here I am unhappy, no doubt, profoundly dissatisfied... In spite of everything I survive.

Aldous Huxley (1894-1963)

We read deeply for varied reasons, most of them familiar: that we cannot know enough people profoundly enough; that we need to know ourselves better; that we require knowledge, not just of self and others, but of the way things are.

Harold Bloom

The only solid piece of scientific truth about which I feel totally confident is that we are profoundly ignorant about nature... It is this sudden confrontation with the depth and scope of ignorance that represents the most significant contribution of twentieth-century science to the human intellect.

Lewis Thomas (1913-1993)

Nominees must earn their confirmation by providing us with full knowledge of the values and convictions they will bring to decisions that may profoundly affect our progress as a nation. Judge Roberts has not done so. His repeated allegiance to the rule of law reveals little about the values he would bring to the job of chief justice of the United States.

Ted Kennedy

Considering the enormous range of human knowledge, from intimate personal knowledge of specific individuals to the complexities of organizations and the subtleties of feelings, it is remarkable that one speck in this firmament should be the sole determinant of whether someone is considered knowledgeable or ignorant in general. Yet it is a fact of life that an unlettered person is considered ignorant, however much he may know about nature and man, and a Ph.D. is never considered ignorant, however barren his mind might be outside his narrow specialty and however little he grasps about human feeling or social complexities.

Thomas Sowell (1930-)

No one is more profoundly sad than he who laughs too much

Jean Paul Richter (1763-1825)

They were profoundly shocked. They have never witnessed anything like this before.

Mark Pugesh

I am much chastened and profoundly remorseful.

Jack Abramoff

All profoundly original art looks ugly at first

Clement Greenberg (1906-)
