Knowing What You Know

I can say that things I don’t know are precisely what I know better than the things I claim to know because I know for sure what I don’t know but what I think I know is open to doubt and rethinking.

知らないものは、知っている筈のものより良く知っていると云えるのは、知らないものの知識は確かでも、知っていると思っている知識には疑い、再考の余地がある。

Or, more briefly, I know for sure, not what I know, but what I don’t know, that is to say, I am absolutely sure what it is that I don’t know.
