"It is better to keep your mouth closed and let everyone believe you are a fool, rather than opening it and removing all doubt." - Mark Twain
Very good to keep in mind. It applies to me on the message board much of the time.

Minds are like parachutes. They only function when they are open. -Sir James Dewar, Scientist (1877-1925)
Too bad all the people who know how to run this country are busy running taxicabs or cutting hair. George Burns (1896-1996)
A classic is a book which people praise and don't read. Mark Twain [Samuel Langhornne Clemens] (1835-1910)
Wise men talk because they have something to say; fools, because they have to say something. Plato (429-347 BC)
These are two that I found that I think james12 will like
History is the version of past events that people have decided to agree upon. Napoleon Bonaparte
What luck for the rulers that men do not think. Adolf Hitler (1889-1945

I agree with Napoleon's quote. If you look at it, history is just the facts that come from the winner's side. The winner always chooses how to present the history of what just recently happened.

I found several of these quotes entertaining. Like Mark Twain's. That applies very well to my English classes.
