How does that quote go? Better to keep your mouth shut and be thought a fool, than open your mouth and be confirmed one. Something like that. Anyway, it applies here.
"...than to open your mouth and remove all doubt"
That's it! Do you remember who said it?
Albert Abraham Einstein Lincoln.
Pretty sure it was Mark Confucious Twain Switzer....Jr.
Pothetato said it
It wasn't Sr?
Sadly, the author isn't actually known.
‘Even a fool, when he holdeth his peace, is counted wise: and he that shutteth his lips is esteemed a man of understanding.’
So Mark Twain then, since he said everything.
Or Shakespeare.
Very interesting! Thanks for sharing!
The Romans, google this: si tacuisses, philosophus mansisses.
Wilson, Tim Taylor's neighbour.
