I like this earlier version of the same sentiment, by Artemus Ward, the pen name of Charles Farrar Browne (1834-1867):

"It ain't so much the things you don't know that get you in trouble. It's the things you know that just ain't so."

Idea Of The Day -

Make no violent effort to control the mind, but rather allow
it to run along for a while, and exhaust its efforts. It
will take advantage of the opportunity and will jump around
like an unchained monkey at first, until it gradually slows
down and looks to you for orders. It may take some time to
tame the mind, but each time you try it will come round to
you in a shorter time.

Sivananda (born 1887)
Indian Physician and Sage
