Better to have honest nescience than to have militant ignorance.

To lapse from knowledge into nescience is always possible—there is no law of God or man forbidding it.

Many a day we had been twenty-two out of the twenty-four hours in the saddle, each taking it in turn to lead through the darkness while the others let their heads nod forward over the pommel in nescience.

Algernon, in a condition of masculine nescience, lets himself become engaged to a woman of whom he knows nothing.

The theory of nescience is but the obverse of the fact of science.
