Who said 'Ignorance is the root of all evil'?
Molly Ivans. And, much earlier: Gautama, the Buddha. He called Ignorance Avijja. Earlier than that, was Socrates. Socrates believed that the means to the good life (summum bonum = the ultimate good) was a beautiful, or virtuous soul. His argument is that we choose evil because we think it will be good for us. We rob the bank because we think more money will be good for us. But to Socrates, robbing the bank taints your soul. We sin because we are ignorant of the real means to a good life - virtue. To Socrates, there would be no evil if everyone realized that virtue is the only means to the good life. If we could stick together the end and the means - there would be no evil.

What is Socrates creed?
Socrates did not have an explicit creed to which he was attached. What he did have, however, like the rest of us, were certain operating principles that could be thought of as a kind of creed. He had one principle that was his most important. According to Plato, he stated it at his trial: "the unexamined life is not worth living" [APOLOGY, 38a]. To examine life is to put it to the test, to seek how to live it better. Socrates was a philosopher, and the word "philosopher" simply means "lover of wisdom." Therefore, Socrates seriously tried to live as wisely as he could, and he recommended that everyone else do the same. He believed that "a good man cannot be harmed either in life or in death" [APOLOGY 41d]. He thought of his principle task as that of being a good man. Since it is not obvious how to be a good person, he adopted the philosophic life in order to do his best to become a good person.
