Mankind have a great aversion to intellectual labor; but even supposing knowledge to be easily attainable, more people would be content to be ignorant than would take even a little trouble to acquire it.

He was _so close_. Too bad he stopped at "content to be", rather than ratcheting it up to "volubly proud of being".

Volubly and _righteously_, in fact!

Though that might be redundant -- great use of "volubly!"

Plenty of instances of the loud and indignant ignorant!
