A student visited the Library of Congress recently and read the
following quotation on one of the walls.  "Ignorance is the curse of God
and knowledge the wings on which we rise to heaven."  These may not be
the exact words but are close to them.  He needs to know the author of
these words.

I believe the author is Thomas Jefferson but I cannot find it.

I e-mailed the Library of Congress and they referred me to two books,
neither of which I have.
1.      On these walls:  inscriptions and quotation in the buildings of
the Library of Congress by John Y. Cole.
2.      2.  Handbook of Library of Congress by Herbert Small.

I have also searched on the Internet and quotation dictionaries in our
library but no luck so far.

Any thoughts on where to look or to whom I may attribute these words?

Thanks for your support.
