Hello mitts,
"The things we know best are those we have not learned."
Written by the French soldier and moralist, Luc de Clapiers, Marquis
de Vauvenargues (1715-1747) in the only book he ever published (1746):
"Introduction a la connaissance de l'esprit humain, suivie de
reflexions et de maximes ("Introduction to an Understanding of the
Human Mind, Followed by Reflections and Maxims"). It consisted of
about 700 reflections, your quotation is number 479.
"The things we know best are those we have not learned."
Luc, Marquis de Vauvenargues (1715-1747)
"Reflexions et Maximes", 1746
Number 479

To find the quote initially, I looked in "Familiar Quotations" by John
Bartlett, Fourteenth Edition, Little, Brown ( 1968), for all of the
quotations containing the the word "know". Once I found the quote and
author, I searched Google for some online links.
I trust this is the quotation you are looking for. If not, or if you
have any questions, please post a clarification request before rating
my answer.
Thank you,
