He who knows not, and knows not that he knows not, is a fool. Shun him.

He who knows not, and knows that he knows not is simple. Teach him.

He who knows, and knows not that he knows, is asleep. Wake him.

He who knows, and knows that he knows is wise. Follow him.

Sir Richard Burton, Anonymous Arabic Proverb,

You are very correct. I’ll fix that now.

2) You know what you don't know.
(You are not aware of your ignorance.)

Shouldn't that read "You are aware of your ignoracnce."?
