My suggestion:
... show that neither uncritical acceptance nor the mentioned admission of ignorance will take us any further. On the contrary, only by questioning custom do we approach our goal of knowledge.
I hope this is helpful.

I think the asker wanted someone to find the exact quotation, and not to have it translated. It's always dangerous to retranslate Plato and other ancient authors...
Do you know which dialogue is the quotation taken from? I could not recognize it at first sight.
See the URL below for a complete official translation of all Plato's works.
