Better to remain silent and be thought a fool

Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak out and remove all doubt. -- Abraham Lincoln. Also attr. Confucius, George Elliot, and Mark Twain 1835-1910. In the Bible, 'Proverbs' 17:28 also addresses the matter: Even a fool, when he holdeth his peace, is counted wise: and he that shutteth his lips is esteemed a man of understanding.
