I really love the wisdom of Mark Twain.....and many times certain situations, in my life, remind me to think of some of his so famous quotes.

Today, I would like to share, with all of you, this pearl of his wisdom:

MARK TWAIN SAID:

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

Say no more !

Well how about the old Chinese proverb that goes...

"It is better to light one small candle than to cuss in the dark.".

maybe I'm paraphrasing but it's close.

I like that, very much, Rusty...Excellent !...But, more so, if I can equate "the dark" to the ignorance and bitterness of some people who just talk to make noise to draw unearned attention to themselves and practically yell out:

"Look at me, Look at me !"

P.S. - Rusty, check this out....here is your chinese proverb:
