there-s-none-so-blind-as-those-who-will-not-see
"There are none so blind as those who will not see. The most deluded people are those who choose to ignore what they already know."These saying has it roots in the Bible:"Hear now this, O foolish people, and without understanding; which have eyes, and see not; which have ears, and hear not."(Jer. 5:21, King James version)First to use it in literature was Jonathan Swift, who wrote it in 'Polite Conversation' (1738).
That quote is not in the Bible; it is usually attributed to Benjamin Franklin.
I don't think it says that in the Bible. It's a Benjamin Franklin quote.
I do not think you will find that quote in the Bible. None of the major versions of the Bible include the words "perplexed people" (King James Version, New International Version, New American Standard Bible).
there are none so blind as those who will not see
There are two songs that use those lyrics: 1. "Everything is Beautiful" by Ray Stevens There is none so blind as he who will not see. We must not close our minds; we must let our thoughts be free. (http://www.lyricsdownload.com/ray-stevens-everything-is-beautiful-lyrics.html) 2. "None So Blind" by Z. Mulls There are none so blind as those who will not see None so blind as you and me (http://www.zmulls.com/lyricview?LyricNum=119)
None So Blind was created in 1994-11.
"None so blind as those who will not see" appears in Matthew Henry's Commentaries (1708-1710). The proverb is an echo of The Book of the Prophet Jeremiah, 5:21: "Hear now this, O foolish people, and without understanding; which have eyes and see not; which have ears and hear not."
The phrase "There's none so blind as those who will not see" is often attributed to John Heywood, a 16th-century English playwright and poet. It suggests that people who refuse to acknowledge the truth or reality are the most blind, even more so than those who are physically unable to see. The saying emphasizes the idea that willful ignorance can be more limiting than a lack of physical sight.
The author of the quote, 'honesty is a lethal weapon against those who have none themselves, is Cicero. Marcus Tullius Cicero, was a Roman philosopher, politician, lawyer, orator, political theorist, and consul. He was assassinated on December 7, 43 BC, in Formia, Italy.
