It is better to keep your mouth closed and let people think you are a fool than to open it and remove all doubt.

Mark Twain





I just saw this quote in somebody's AIM profile and it said that the quote was by Abraham Lincoln. So who really said it?

Some guy named Sam said it.



Mark Twain (Sam Clemens) had a lot of really good quotes, and that was one of them.

It was Mark Twain, I believe it was from following the equator, or it may have also been in the "The World According To Mark Twain".



Abe Lincoln didn't talk like that, it doesn't even make any sense. Who's profile did you see this in?
