"Knowledge is Power" by Sir Francis Bacon, is the official Tug Motto

Maybe we can make Mark's comments the official snark?

Or my favorite quote, attributed to Ben Franklin,
or Abraham Lincoln,
or Mark Twain,
or Samuel Johnson,
or somebody else.

But I'm pretty sure somebody said it:

"It is better to remain silent and be thought a fool, than to open your mouth and remove all doubt."

"It is better to remain silent and be thought a fool, than to open your mouth and remove all doubt."
That is an excellent quote IMHO.

I used to have this tagline in my bbs signature. I still do over on mozillazine.com:
"What a fool believes no wise man has the power to reason away" - Doobie Brothers

According to quoteinvestigator.com it first appeared in print in 1907 in
"Mrs. Goose, Her Book” by Maurice Switzer.

It is perhaps a reflection of this Biblical passage:
Even a fool, when he holdeth his peace, is counted wise: and
He that shutteth his lips is esteemed a man of understanding.
-- Proverbs 17:28

Good find. I’ve heard the quote forever, but never had any idea where it originated. In one form or another, it’s attributed to a lot of people.
