I cannot find the context in which Benjamin Franklin said this. However, throughout his life he believed there were always knew things to learn. For example, when he was 16 he was embarassed about his failure to understand mathematics. Instead of sitting back like others of his generation and blaming his ignorance on the failings of the Boston educational system, he is said to have sought out a book on the subject so he could teach himself. He had no patience for people -- fools -- who chose not to improve their knowledge of the world around them.

Hmm...
"Most fools think they are only ignorant."
There are differences between being a fool or being stupid or dumb.
