Who said ignorance is bliss?

[Edit]

Answer

This is a quotation from an English poet called Thomas Gray born December 26 1716 and died 30 June 1771 from the poem

Ode on a Distant Prospect of Eton College

"Yet ah! why should they know their fate?
Since sorrow never comes too late,
And happiness too swiftly flies.
Thought would destroy their paradise.
No more; where ignorance is bliss,
'Tis folly to be wise."
